The movers are coming tomorrow. We are leaving northeast Florida to return to our roots in southeast Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia with all its brotherly love awaiting. What will I miss? Probably the climate (except July/August), competent medical professionals, civility - no horn blowing, friendly shop keepers where "everybody knows your name", the slower pace of life, friendly neighbors and former co-workers, and the sound of the honkers overhead heralding the dawn. What am I looking forward to? The change of seasons, a soft silent snowfall, competent medical professionals, academie, a good Jewish deli, Philly cheese steak, Philadelphia scrapple (don't ask the ingredients), closeness to family and nearness to the Jersey Shore - and last but not least proximity to my burial plot. Another leg in life's journey.
