well, I wouldn't want to be 4 years younger - I was still a wee bit unstable then.

but I would like to back to academia. I keep hoping someday ben will decide to become a professor. then I could study music, and we could live ina small apartment with 2 cats and a dog...*grin*

I felt like you do when I moved to MA - everyhting is so far away! no more convenient bus ride or nice walk to campus to do stuff. everything is half an hour away in MA.

add to that the fact that I am effectively living in 2 places....*sigh*
