One of the things I’m learning down here is how to put things in to what I call “distance context” — I try to relate them to the town where we used to live. Going into downtown from here is like going to a city 45 minutes away from where we used to live. Sure I’d be willing to do it once in a while, but it isn’t a trip I’d make even on an every other month basis. It’s weird how physical distance and psychological distance play into our daily lives.
