I grew up on the flatlands of the Texas coastal plains. As far as you could see, you might as well have been living on a pool table. The only "hill" for probably 50 miles was my dad's construction company's road gravel stockpile.

The rest of my life has mostly been spent on flatlands. Right now, I can look northeast from my balcony at the "mountain" of the county landfill in the distance.

John Denver's words, "Coming home to a place he'd never been before," is how I've always felt every time I've been to Colorado or the other mountainous western states.

I'm still living in Texas, but there's not a day that goes by, that I'm not threatening in my mind to move to the high country. It hasn't happened yet, but I can't guarantee that it won't.
