I’ve just spent the week in a few small towns and one of the things that struck me is how walkable they are, yet everyone still drives. In one of them, I calculated that I’d not need a car at all (easier said in June than January, I know). But here people were; driving a block here, two there.
The last paragraph before the Spanish lesson: “There’s still so much life to live……” is exquisite Rocco and my thinking exactly. Keep up the excellent writing and attitude!

Small towns in America are great. It's always sad to see how they have been largely abandoned as places to live in the center.
Which ones?
The driving for a few blocks thing is common in LA. Even in SF. It's freaking weird.
The one I was thinking of when I wrote that was St. Joseph, MI.
Oh and Happy Birthday!! 50 is very young yet old enough to appreciate the importance of living a life that works for you.
