Here's a question that you might discuss in a future post: the tension between going and staying. "Do I need a change, knowing that the grass may not be greener elsewhere?" is an excellent question. It invites a dialogue between stasis and change, the familiar versus the unknown. A lot of Americans (maybe a majority) seem to often be on the "greener grass" side of things, thinking a new location or a new job (or a new car, a new home, a new church, a new spouse, a new degree) etc. is the key to some type of redemption. On the other hand, it seems true that a lot of folks stagnate in place, while others "bloom where they're planted" and become quite fulfilled and productive.
I'm guessing you would have some insights on this.
Ken, as I think you know, we’ve lived all over the country, so the question of staying or going is one we’ve addressed several times. I think exploring that might be worth some thought. Thanks for the good idea.
When I worked in Public Transit the fun that I had at work was mostly at lunch and break times. Some authorized parties had some fun because we did not have to work.
A wise woman of the west taught me that “work” is that which one would not volunteerily do.

I'd forgotten that you worked in public transit. When was that?
