That's a quote from a poster on another thread about moving away from DC and how to adjust to living amongst people who aren't all that we Washingtonians like to believe we are.  It struck a chord with me.

I remember falling in love with a computer programmer (hardly uneducated, but not up to my so-called friends' standards) in my 20s and someone asking me, "but what do you TALK about?"  He tought me about unconditional love and letting my hair down to just have fun.  I remember my southern grandmother who was rich but lived an unmaterialistic, simple life with valued friends and a close circle of friends.  She never went to college, but she taught me the value of humility and doing for every needful person that was put in my path.  I think of my adopted sister with developmental delays, and how much more affectionate she is than any person I know in DC.

What about you?    [/quote]
