Yankees

As a Southern girl transplanted amongst Yankee's, what I've observed is that their pursuits are fairly trivial. I haven't found much of substance here. The foods are boring, the conversation is banal, and only the vanities are discussed with much fervor. As in whose house is bigger, whose job is more important, and who gets the most respect for their dollar. I never really bought into that but now that I have lots of free time I'm noticing that I never missed much by working all the time. There is nothing much holding me here now. Just the accident case and one friend who hasn't moved away yet. We are suddenly finding ourselves getting closer than ever now that her move back to California is imminent. She has asked me to come along but I need to keep plodding on this path for awhile longer. I told her it may be quite soon when I am parked in her driveway for a spell. In any case I have suddenly realized that I have never been friends with a Yankee. So I guess it isn't going to happen now.
