Where do you live? Sleep the most often? At the end of the day, where do you call home?
For some of my relatives, friends, and acquaintances their answer is a house or apartment located near their birthplace. Perhaps down the street, or a few miles from where they grew up.
For others the current and original are separated by hundreds, perhaps thousands, of miles, national boundaries, or cultural divisions.
A few years ago I realized that I’ve lived in this current, adopted of the United States longer than in Wisconsin, where I was born and grew to early adulthood. Where has all the time gone? I got here by an indirect route, with stops of varying time in other states.
Does length of time make it home? Experiences? Intention to stay?
