How far away did you run from where you were born?

Me...close to 200 miles. And now, it doesn't matter. It did a few decades ago.

1. 400 miles
Went to grad school in Boston. Then 100 miles to teach in a small town. After those adventures, I realized that my hometown wasn't half bad, and I moved back.

4. I bounced around for quite awhile.
Went to college 200 miles from home, then lived in several different states. Ended up 50 miles from home.
