Driving west across PA on I-80 always makes me think of settlers
cresting ridge after Appalachian ridge to see yet another
deep-soiled, well-watered valley: "Looks good, think I'll drop off
here..."
I took my son to Charlottesville, VA last week for a college visit,
with dogwood and azaleas all around Massa Tom's architecture. It'll
be a month before the landscapes of New England campuses can begin
to compete.
Since early childhood in Dallas, I've spent most of my life in New
England or New York City -- but something about the landforms and
climate from Delaware to the Carolinas, reaching west to say
Lexington and Chattanooga, really says "home" to me.
