Narrative:

I taxied over the hold short line at my home airport and had to be reminded by the tower controller. Contributing factors: the hold-short lines were moved since I last used that runway. It has been some time; but for some reason my habits don't take me to that runway. The hold short line was moved a large distance from where it used to be. I was 'expecting' to taxi to where I was used to going. I remember thinking: 'oh neat; they've painted ILS hold lines here; never had 'em before'. Lack of recent experience; ironically; that was the purpose of the flight. I just got back from a family visit to a relative dying at an unexpectedly young age. I think it must be bothering me more than I thought because I've been doing stupid; distracted things like this all week.
