"No matter where you go, there you are."  - The Buckmeister

Ronni Bennett has started a companion blog to "Time Goes By" called "A Sense of Place."  Wendell Berry has always been one of my cultural touchstones, and in a former life I studied the amazing product of Stegner’s writing program at Stanford.  The Kentucky boys - Berry, Norman, McClanahan, and to a lesser extent Jim Hall - fed into my fantasy of the writer’s life.  That observation stubs up to several essays worth writing, but in this little blog post, I’m just thanking Ronni for reminding me of the Stegner/Berry connection.

And, by Googling around to see just how those old boys are representing on the web, I found a new voice… Bobbie Ann Mason.  Thanks Ronni.
