I agree--it is lovely to settle into a feeling of permanence. I moved SO MUCH as a kid, and I am glad to be able to offer my children something different. Glad you guys have found your nest. About the old senior faculty thing--a junior person I've know forever revealed that she was intimidated by me because I'm a scary old senior person, while to me she's just a little younger than me. Which makes me think those scary senior people probably felt the same about me. The shrinkage of the generational gaps thing is totally true. --Bunny
