I moved to Poughkeepsie. Too radical?

I moved to Poughkeepsie a year ago exactly. I left my miserable life at 52 in Camden. I lost my husband and both parents all within a short time for one another. They were all fairly young. So to help with my grief, I sold everything including my mother's Precious Moments Collection and my double wide and quit my job (I was in housewares and home decor at HomeGoods for 20 years) and quietly left my friends and what was left of my family. I now live in a van near the river in Poughkeepsie. I don’t work (I am writing a book but mostly for myself). I am learning to cook meth. And I’m surviving. My van is warm and I live off handouts. I will be in Staten Island for the month of August at the Walmart Parking Lot near the Cedar Grove beach. And I brought my artwork and my cat. This is my life. I still cry daily for my soulmate. For him. But the sex is easy (with young virile men too) and I’ve made a circle of 3 good friends here. People visit me often in my van down by the river. This is my life. Why do people from “home” still consider me crazy for this?

When I went to Vassar (around 1990), my social psychology professor had a Sunday comics strip from the local newspaper pasted to his office door, just above the office hours.

In it, there were two young adventurers and an older man stuck on the ocean bottom, in a broken down sub, being attacked by a variety of sea monsters. One of the kids turned to the man and said, "Gosh, Professor! I can't imagine being in a worse spot!"

And the Professor says: "I can. Poughkeepsie."

Are you learning Poughkeepsian, OP, or did you already speak it a little?

I would have headed for Schenectady.
