3. My West Virginia Day . . .

is being spent in the flat canyons of downtown Chicago. I'm here on a business trip, teaching a software class. But, oh how I miss the green, rolling hills! Lift a glass for me, in celebration of the day.

My father and his lifelong fishing buddy took us 4 boys camping for a week on the banks of the Little Coal river, about 3 miles above where it meets the Big Coal. We had a canoe and made good use of it. We 4 boys agreed that we would so swimming in the river every morning just as soon as we woke up. I was 14 years old and life was good.

By a happy coincidence, I---living in NYC these days---happened to be back in WV on the day, visiting my sister's family in Bridgeport. It was great to toast our beautiful state's birthday around the firepit that evening.
