My first nine years were in Louisville, KY. Then my family moved to coal country, Pike County, KY, where I lived with my mountain kin until I was 17. After moving to horse-farm country, near Lexington, KY, for a while, I moved to Brooklyn, NY, where I've been for the last 25 years.

WOW, Jeff ... Brooklyn! What a culture shock that must have been! Evidently you like it or you wouldn't be there . . . but I am scratching my head as to why anyone would leave the beautiful rolling hills of bluegrass country and clean air for . . . the Big Apple. I'd love to hear the story (as only you could tell it) . . .

I went in the other direction . . . from NJ to KY

I often miss the beautiful state you live in, JoyD., and I make sure I make it down your way several times a year to visit family and friends. I embrace my Kentucky roots and feel that I experienced three completely different cultures growing up there: Louisville felt like a city of the midwest, Pikeville was true mountain culture, and Lexington had a feel much like the American South. So one of my favorite things about Brooklyn is the unique diversity of its languages and cultures. I can take a quick walk and feel as if I'm in another country of the world every few blocks. Living here serves as a daily reminder to me that I am a citizen of, as McKooi put it so well earlier in this thread, "planet earth." It's a reminder I enjoy getting.

And no, I'm not in the military, nor was my family. I'm just a gypsy, I guess. I was thinking just last night that where I am now is the fourth place my 9-year-old cats have lived.
