Keeping it Real

Hot date last night for Lovely Bride and I - we went to see IronMan3  - $3 cash per person, and a humble single theater with decent seats and a passable sound system. The real culture shock was coming out to a quiet street with no traffic and other viewers walking away with a low hum of conversations as folks went their way. What was missing was a cacophony of cars, shouts, screams, music, traffic and mind-numbing noise. It was so startling that walking across the street, I was scanning for threats in this unfamiliar environment. Once I adjusted, it was an enjoyable experience that we will have to repeat.

Cancer, relatives, in-laws, out-laws; life happens. That said, we have completed our long anticipated repositioning, and are digging in. New surroundings, new life, new possibilities.
