I realized today as I was posting about Lambert's Cafe, with a location listed for me as central Alaska, that it seemed a bit unbelievable. Got me thinking about all the places I have had the good fortune to live in my life. How 'bout you?

I've lived (in no particular order) in:

New Albany, IN
Louisville, KY
Nashville, TN
Jackson, TN
Hendersonville, TN
Jackson Hole, WY
Bozeman, MT
Mexico City
Fresno, CA
Halls Crossing, UT
Page, AZ
Denver, CO
Flagstaff, AZ
Dangling Rope, UT
Yellowstone, WY
Gardiner, MT
Crested Butte, CO
West Yellowstone, MT
Brunswick, GA
Denali Park, AK

Edit: Oops almost forgot Kingman, AZ, which would probably be a blessing.
