City life takes some adjusting to. Yes, sure does -- or would. I lived in the city for a couple of months in '99 while caring for my father when he was in end stage kidney cancer. For me, I think the stress of living in suburbia for 2 months was almost on par with dealing with the cancer... which probably gives you some idea of how I much I like being in the city (not!). I expect I'll never be a city person again. In fact, things are getting kind of... pesky.. out around where I live. Small housing development going in about 1500 feet down the road from my place, so I'm hearing the bulldozers and graders building the roads through the woods and such. The traffic is getting pretty heavy on the highway out front.. and I guess there's going to be a golf course built in some fields that I can see when I look off into the distance out my living room window. We've recently begun looking for the "next and last place" where we'll want to live out our days. It'll be up on the Shield somewhere, definitely far from the madding crowd. croc
