Michael:
on your Tom Wolfe quote: You can never go "home" again, only because in the intervening time "home" has time to change & grow as have you! In essence: home has moved.
But being a part of a community/family is another thing, it makes for a mobile "home" without walls that moves & grows with you.
Bwahahaha, Jewels would make a horrid philosopher, wouldn't she.
My help offer still stands too.
