Ten Years?!

Ten years.

As of May 29, we've lived in this area for 10 years.

That is a little hard to fathom, I must say.

It's been a good 10 years overall, really and truly--but does this area feel like "home"?

Not yet.

(I lived in NYC 10 years, so have a point of reference. I actually felt at home there, I did. Until I didn't, that is.)

But this is where the liberals live, so stay we must. For all its faults and foibles, this is one of the safest places for people like me to live, so stay I will. Maybe I'll just get the hang of it later rather than sooner, like every other aspect of my life....
