This ...I had no idea you had a nose reconstruction! This isn't my blog and I certainly don't have the subject cataloging expertise that you do, but perhaps this post deserves the label 'new york city' too.<br />Also I suspect that you have a better chance at that friendly anonymity in a college town than in a more (what's the right adjective?) provincial? place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23897968.post-15995171181761757492009-06-28T12:03:46.666-04:002009-06-28T12:03:46.666-04:00Alfred has a nice coffee shop (The Terra Cotta) wi...Alfred has a nice coffee shop (The Terra Cotta) with long hours and wireless so I might just take my loner/intellectual self there pretty often. And there's a 24-hour convenience store that has a coffee machine. Both of these are about a five-minute walk from the house in Alfred. I will survive.Sherman Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17825017103161880163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23897968.post-90196707513794573192009-06-28T11:45:31.480-04:002009-06-28T11:45:31.480-04:00yes, that friendly anonymity.

I don't like the idea of living in the middle of nowhere, because I do love human contact and warmth, but I spend most of my time alone and I like it that way. If you live in New York, when the walls start caving in on you, all you have to do is go to the corner to get coffee and you get that familiarity you describe here. People smile at you, you smile at them, a kind word, encouragement, something. And when you get back inside the walls are back in their regular positions again.Ilaria/Swimturtlehttp://turtlehaus.comnoreply@blogger.com
