Ten places I’ve lived

1. Dayton. Inside the city limits but with a working dairy farm a half-block across the street.
2. Bloomington. On the Indiana University campus, and later at the edge of town.
3. Binghamton. In the ‘hood, then on a hippie farm near the New York-Pennsylvania line.
4. The yoga ashram. Out on a yoga farm in the Pocono mountains.
5. Fostoria. In a loft downtown, over St. Vincent’s charity store, in what was once Ohio’s Great Black Swamp.
6. Yakima, Washington. Including three years in an orchard.
7. Warren, Ohio. We bought a lovely arts-and-crafts bungalow in an industrial city in economic collapse.
8. Baltimore. Downtown in the trendy Bolton Hill neighborhood and then out in suburban Owings Mills.
9. Manchester, New Hampshire. By the Merrimack River, then atop the tallest hill.
10. Dover, New Hampshire. A mile from downtown. The longest I’ve lived in the same house, by the way.

And one other place that never really counted.
