A belated anniversary

While I was away, I had to recognize one notable anniversary in absentia: June 24 marked my one-year anniversary at River House. I can't believe it's already been a year since I moved in, and suffice it to say . . . it's been a hell of a year!

I do admit to missing my old apartment in Alexandria sometimes (well, I did live there for five years!) and feeling a certain sadness when I remember what happened to that complex (it went through a very ugly condo conversion that, ironically, bottomed out in the end) . . . but all the same, moving to River House was definitely a good move, a big step upward in my quality of life, and I'm very grateful for the time I've spent living here.
