    Somehow I can’t picture Meg Ryan settling down in Bloomington Indiana. This is gonna get ugly. John has always stuck to his midwestern roots, and she’s SOOOO west coast/east coast.

    Templar, meg spends lots of time in Bloomington and spend most of her time there now with Jon. Shes barely in NY anymore. Nice try,
    Good luck to all!
