The DU Lounge

I've been here about two months and I'm very glad I made this move. There are lots of things going on here, outings of various kinds, book clubs, conversation groups. In an hour or so I'll meet up with a couple of others to work on another unsolved murder, and that's more fun than it sounds.

I have friends here, but no family within 800 miles, and my only son lives on the east coast. So this is the right thing for me.

My monthly cost includes two meals a day, the various excursions -- unless plans are made to go to something like a concert that costs -- and so on.

I left small, single family home with small front and back yard, and I'm happy to leave the maintenance behind.

Because I live in a small city, Santa Fe, NM, the distance to various providers simply isn't an issue here. Nothing is more than 15 minutes away.
