One nice thing about Puccini House are the friendly guests. People seem surprised I’m here by myself and are curious about what I’m doing. I’m never sure how to respond to the question of where I’m from. Even when I’m in the states, I might say Rochester, outside Rochester, half-way between Rochester and Buffalo, Western NY, Upstate NY, just plain ol’ NY, California, or something more complicated like “I grew up in NY and go to school in California now” or “I went to Colgate and then worked in DC before coming to California.”
Most of the people I’ve met so far had introduced themselves by country. Since most people know California and New York, I wonder if I should give a more specific answer than just the United States?
