I've done my share of moving around and business travel, as have many
other people on this list.  Each congregation is a bit different --
there are some places where I feel absolutely at "home," and there have
been some where I feel like I need to check if my skin turned purple
while I wasn't looking.  Fortunately, the latter groups seems to be,
from my limited sampling, very much in the minority.  Doesn't seem to
matter much whether its small town, big town, uptown, downtown, or out
of town.
