Color Me Suprised

Just after leaving Brooklyn in 2012 I posted:

And it's not just my friends I miss so much…it's even the other faces I've simply gotten so used to seeing after so many years...besides seeing the faces I love and the places and things I walked by thousands of times over the years, pretty much everything that's happened to me as an adult happened while I was in New York.

And just now it's occurred to me that my Wegmans downstairs is the closest thing I've had to this feeling about any place since I left NYC, with all the familiar but unknown faces & the thousands of grocery items & displays I walk by over & over & day after day.
