I don’t go for all of the quizzes I see on the web, but this one (thanks, Susan) grabbed me, since I grew up in the South (Richmond, Virginia), went to college and lost my accent in the North (RPI, Troy, New York), and have spent the last 22 years in the West. And, unsurprisingly, my answers have me well scattered.

I guess for me the question is which TV programs I watch ;-)
