It’s been almost four months since the naturally occurring retirement community (NORC) where I had lived happily for six years, was forced to vacate its 1960’s-building with only four weeks’ notice because of newly-discovered structural problems that could not be repaired.

Now, with a one-year lease in a quickly-chosen, pleasant apartment that lacks a real community, I am actively searching for my next “adventure.”  It is said that of life's stressful events, only death and divorce are more difficult than moving.

I'll take moving over one and two anytime.
