That's what's cathartic about forums like this.

Anyway, I'm 58 with a lovely wife of 19 years and a teen-aged son.

My "real", non-www life is about grabbing pleasant, carefree times with family, friends, vacations, camping and hobbies.

With plenty of good food and booze thrown in.

I live in an urban suburb of Boston with a professor roommate who also does not have a car. Born in Mass, lived in Georgia from age 2 to 18, returned to Georgia briefly after college to job hunt.

got a job that would be decent if it was in any part of the country but here (though I was willing and did move 1000 miles to take "what I could get"),
Here are some Boston links.

51 year-old woman, happily married (30 years). Homebody. Two grown children - one married. Two dogs and a cat. Live a simplified lifestyle in rural outskirts of small town. Home is paid off, have no desire to be on the "career track" anymore. Part-time job at a jr./sr. high school cafeteria. Was a well paid legal assistant until age 50, when I was "kicked to the curb" by heartless firm, after 10 years of service. Spend balance of time on my passion - gardening and growing produce and herbs for home use and profit.
