If I stay in one city over a month, my perspective of time changes. I really have to work to adapt. The attitude in Cincinnati: Don't be rude by seeming to be in a hurry—in New York: "Get out of my way!"
When I returned to Cincinnati the last time, I was impatient with people to the point that I worked myself into a fit when a group of three older men were chatting with the attendant at the movie theatre ticket booth. Don't they know there are other people (me, in particular) behind them???!!!!
After two months in Cincinnati, when I returned to New York, my first thought as we endured the frantic taxi ride bolting and braking its way to our apartment was, "What in the world is this man's hurry?"
