I wonder, is it possible that people who live in New York live more interesting/complicated lives than the rest of us? By George, I think you've got something there!! I was just wondering the same thing!!! (-: Oh, and BTW, about the back trouble... You're right about that. Seems like my dad and his mother never had back trouble as they got older, so perhaps that's the secret to it... we've got that part out of the way already and it will be clear sailing from this point on..

I don't have proof, only anecdotal evidence, but I have the feeling that there are plenty of oddnesses in suburban and rural lives. Once I was driving my grandmother, then in her 80's, past a cemetery, and to my amazement, she began free-associating on the lurid complexities in the lives some of her old friends and neighbors who were now residing there, and it was amazing. And those naughtinesses would have been before the sexual revolution and the ready availability of birth control. And Grandma told me that her mother was unfaithful to her father, and that was (she thought) the reason for his suicide. City or country, there was always temptation and there was always opportunity. I'm sure there's much more of both now, though. There is more anonymity in cities, of course.
