Ahh... thanks guys, for the insights and affections. Can never have to much of that
 I saw some of Brooklyn today as I had to head over that way. It's amazing what wind in trees will do for headspace. Feeling much better guys. Thanks again. Milamber, those are interesting observations. I've been dwelling on the necessity - if I end up here a long time - of not letting the city shape my value system and personality too much, but to retain any positives I bring in. I don't ever want to look down on Jersey for example. It's just over the river! With a view of Manhattan! I got concerned when I spoke to more than one person who equated living in "the Villiage" as the fulfilment of years of ambition. Equally, after I was in the Bronx another person casually said they tried not to ever leave Manhattan. I have no problem with that, I just don't wish to take that on. I'm just dealing with the concept of not being a Sydneysider. It rammed home when I spoke to an English person here in NYC who had lived in Sydney and extolled the very high standard of living, the climate, the beauty and the laid back, friendly attitudes. Crossroads are by nature times of intense reflection. One has to look behind at the road they are on with honest critique, and look at the new direction with harsh realism. I'll be o.k. have no doubt about that. I've stared into intense despair before now, and this pales into insignificance. It's just great being able to articulate feelings and receive such warmth and encouragement from such wonderful people. We ARE a community. I care about you guys and I'm so glad it appears to be a two way street. God bless you all in whatever you're doing and however you're feeling. Many thanks Hugh ------------------ I am the walrus!.... er, no hang on....  A fair dinkum laughing Hyena! |

Was going to say something about being homesick, but it seems it has been said and that your spirits are back up again, Yorick!
tata for now ------------------  Never try to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and it annoys the pig I've got to admit it's getting better, it's getting better all the time |
