It’s been over a year since he closed the deal on a place here. Made a certain amount of sense, his being born in Chattanooga, his comedic coming-of-age in the wilds of Houston, Texas, his combining the various influences of both geographies with an urban edge and a no-nonsense approach to detecting and eradicating a host of societal ills, his wanting to spend as much quality time as possible with his family.
