Unlike you, I never actually left my childhood neighborhood. Your post makes me wonder what it would be like to move away and come back after an extended time. Like you said, I'm sure that the familiar places would never stop being a part of me, an extension of self.Paul Swendsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11759790121603396564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801207462566510326.post-27426786556212877032010-07-13T07:47:41.133-07:002010-07-13T07:47:41.133-07:00@ Walter, sounds cool.

Also reminded me that there was a movie made in and around my hometown, which was a really big deal since it's an itty bitty town (but beautiful, nestled in a valley surrounded by redwoods in northern CA) pretty much in the middle of nowhere, but the movie was absolutely horrible! One of the worst I've ever seen. Heartwood, in case anyone is yearning for a poorly acted movie with a weak, predictable story.<br /><br />I will watch In and Out for the diner scene. :-)<br /><br />Oh, and Jen cracked me up with her comment "I love your life..."
