Absolutely — there’s no price tag on nostalgia and home is home no matter what kind of house, apartment or other structure you affix with that label.

So if you think of it like that, there’s no disadvantage in loving home. I suspect that even people from poor neighborhoods miss where they’ve come from at times.

I don’t consider myself much of a foodie considering when I lived in NYC (ie: didn’t eat out every meal like I do in Thailand) 60% of my meals came out of the microwave. Oh well, I still love to eat!

Thank you Sarah… I don’t see what you said as condescending at all, I definitely see it as a gift!

Andrea, glad to hear I’m not the only one! When I talk to people who’ve gone years without even a quick visit home I’m just gobsmacked. My family and friends wouldn’t allow it!

I’m glad you enjoyed your time back at home.

I mean, the food alone was tempting. If I was in New York, I’d probably eat nothing but pizza and street hot dogs for the first week.

You have a beautiful puppy!
