Where have you lived?

Recommended Posts

Often, I get asked about where I'm from, and it's not an easy question to answer. Through the course of my life, I've lived (in order) in: Minnesota, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Maine, Kentucky, back to CT, Vermont, back to CT, Florida, Georgia, Northern CA, Oregon, now Southern CA. The movement is mostly in my adult life, and professional opportunities with my company (CT to FL and on). Being single and not owning anything (except the basics that fill an apartment) have made for fairly easy lifestyle changes (that and I don't feel thwarted by making new friends). I didn't even start jumping until I lived in Oregon...

By "lived" in, I mean I had an actual address/PO Box, etc. there...

So I was curious about others here who would care to share their experience. Our friends in active military service will have lists of some length I imagine! ;)

And for those not living in the US I'm equally curious, for whatever reason, it seems like picking up and moving from...say, Italy to Spain would be difficult, but I don't know what is culturally practiced (?)
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

I lived in Massachusetts until I was 5; then the south of Brazil, Ohio, Rio de Janeiro Brazil, and I've been in Houston, Texas since I went to college (1972) with a couple of abortive attempts to move back to New England.

And no, we were neither missionaries nor military :ph34r:

Born and raised in a little town in Northern Cape Breton, Nova Scotia
Then I moved to the mainland at 17, to Antigonish N.S.
Moved to Calgary, Alberta shortly after, and now I live in Red Deer, Alberta, where it's very cold and snowy[:/]
