I need some contact with the outside world - at some point at least.  Early days yet so don't read too much into it but I am starting to yearn for some substantial non-family contact, intellectual challenge, engagement with the outside world.  It will come but it will be interesting to see how, and whether or not deciding not to live in Princeton itself was the correct decision.  Looking at the local papers, there is always something going on in Princeton, as you would expect of a major University town.  Art, music, debate, politics, environmentalism, sport etc etc.  If we were living in the town itself, it would be easy enough to walk out a couple of times a week and get involved.  Here in Hopewell, it is a 15 minute drive to Princeton.  Not far and I or we will start to go in to town once we are settled.  Indeed, I think that it is important that I do.  But the decision to come here as taken for family reasons and we judged Hopewell to be a better option so we will run with that for now and see where it takes us.  Ask for my views on the better place to live in 6 mths and I should have a more definitive view.
