Now a Homebody?

From the time I was brought home from the hospital until the first year I went to college, I lived in the same house. Those eighteen years were the longest I was ever in one place.

After college, I went directly to work in various parts of the Middle East with a few educational breaks in the States. I stayed overseas from 1981 to 1996. During those fifteen years, I worked in five different countries and slept in at least 12 different apartments. After that, upon immigrating to Canada, I rented a place for two years.

It wasn't until 1998 that we bought an apartment in New Westminster, BC. It does indeed seem strange that come this summer, I'll have been in the same building for ten years. I can forsee no changes in where I'm living, unless we were to do something unusual like decide to take a year off and move to Halifax.


I live on the tenth floor of the taller tower to the left.
