RELOCATION…SENIORS


My direction is following Lawrence Durrell, “Spirit of the Place,” and living where I would never expect to live.  I wish I could control my impractical, impulsive, and annoying spirit of adventure. I think about architecture, Jewish deli’s, Italian restaurants, at least five movie theaters built in the 1930s, and neighborhoods of unfamiliar lighting, expressions, and conversations. Gambling on yourself is how much you can adapt, change, influence, and accept the days of your life.

In my syndicate, there must be a dozen pals with the same unsolved equation. Is it age that blocks me and maybe you from relocation, or is it the trauma and stress? What liberation to just pack a suitcase and board a plane like in the movies. Separation from the familiar..

  1. I’ve lived many places. I grew up in Manhattan on the upper west side. I’ve also lived in Chappaqua, New York, Ann Arbor, Michigan, Berkeley, California, Montreal, Canada, Flushing, New York, Rocky Hill, New Jersey, Andover, Massachusetts, Portland, Oregon, and now in the small town of Dufur, Oregon where I plan to stay. I’ve even bought a cemetery plot here!
