I've lived a lot of places. Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, Oregon, Japan.
Good God. I was born in Buffalo, grew up in Albany, and went to SUC New Paltz my first two years of college. My mom was from Manhattan, dad from Brooklyn. Ah, New York.
"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks
