I have only scratched the surface of attempting to adjust to life in Detroit after 22 years in Los Angeles and 2 in New York. It is very odd to see all these familiar sights in my every day life, adjusted for time and the decay it brings. Everything decays here. The people, certainly. Winter crushes the spirit and the body. When it hits again I don't know if I will be mentally ready. I am, however, enjoying having money, a brand new car, and a killer house. A HOUSE. I never thought I'd live in one like this, all vintage and secluded. It's practically in the country. I have a huge backyard with rabbits, squirrels, woodchucks, and deer. DEER. WTF.
Haven't made any new friends yet. Relying on those from yesteryear to get me started. There doesn't seem to be an SG community of any kind. Not that I'd go that direction. We'll see what happens.
In the meantime...everything old is new again. Possibly even me.
