She got me...Margaret Rome commented on Maureen McCabe's post and memed me, so here goes. 1.  Where do I live? The Land of Pleasant Living, America in Miniature, and (officially) The Old Line State.  That's my home for the past  mumbledy-leven years - Maryland.  The city of Columbia, where I've lived for 8 years, is about half way between Baltimore and Washington, D.C, just west of I-95. Celebrating it's 40th birthday this year, Columbia began as a gleam in Jim Rouse's eye and is now a city of over 100,000 people on land that covers more square acreage than Manhattan. Envisioned as a place where there would be true diversity, Columbia has largely lived up to that vision. Situated between the Chesapeake Bay and the Appalachian mountains several miles to the west, we're in rolling country...
