where do you live?

[Icarus]

Harmonie I do not live in Indianapolis.  I was born there in 1930. My parents were Gypsies of a sort.....no not the Rumanian kind of Gypsy. In any case I moved around the country with them for a few years until WW2 and Pearl Harbor happened. Those were depression days and responsible fathers went where work was available.  We happened to be in Tampa Florida at the time of Pearl Harbor. I have been a Floridian ever since that time. My three yearstint in Connecticut was when I was in the military during the Korean war.

Here is a cracker kid who had to learn about the New England language quirks and culture. Not quite the same as Florida in the 1950s.  It took a while but I learned that those damned yankees were not as permanently angry that I thought them to be. They just had a different way of expressing themselves. In time I became very close to several of them and I remember them well and respectfully.

I still ain't much attached to clam chowdah and Guinea grinders however.
