I sometimes wonder if I would still be here, absent my tenure. One never knows. I do think one thing about old timers still here: they tend to ignore the noise, the ups and downs, and just carry on, because they value and enjoy the neighborhood, and draw pleasure from it, and want to nurture it, each in their own way. And of course because they have made friends here, whom they want to continue to "meet." That in fact is the real glue.

Fair enough for me.
