Not sure that I’ve ever actually lived anywhere other than New York State, though several different areas there. I went to boarding school a couple of years each in Maine and in Massachusetts, spent two or three months in Santa Cruz, and have had longish visits (but shorter than the Santa Cruz stay) in several other states. I didn’t think of any of them as “home”, though.
