Garrison:

I am getting married in June, and while we are very much in love, I am going to move halfway across the country, from southern California, where I was born and raised, to Dallas, Texas, where my true love lives. I have the feeling that, as much as I like it there, it will be a bit like moving to a foreign nation where I don't quite speak the language and everyone's politics are different from mine. Can you give me some thoughts on good ways to maintain friendly relations and harmony in a new relationship, new surroundings, and a new stage of my life?

Anne, I haven't a clue when it comes to Texas. Not a clue. The state has plenty of writers who are fascinated with it and have written vastly about it and I leave Texas to them. I hope you love air-conditioning.
