Illustrated geography lessons

Well enough I know how to be a Midwesterner, but right now I'm all wrapped up in the patchworks of blankets and geographical maps trying to find out what in the United States I'd like to be next.

British Columbia is an option. No one ever thought that would be a possibility. Or Portland. Or Seattle. Or Carbondale. Or Kalamazoo. Or Ann Arbor. Or Pittsburgh. Or Amherst.

Currently covering my eyes with my left hand in front of a map and, with my right hand, landing the right finger on a place I haven't been yet.
