The pull of Mother Nature: Eventually
the cities will have a hard time competing with rustic elegance and the quiet
nights, the slower pace, the deep, starry nights, the crickets chirping and the
trill of the cicada.
If we can live and work from anywhere, why should
we tolerate all the lines? ...lines of cars? Just to get into a parking lot!?!
...lines into restaurants? ...all to control, guide, and cajole.
Though we all seek order within our life, there is
something to be said for the unstructured, the spontaneous and the unknown.
In this episode of the show
you'll go inside a house that actually open us up to nature and rustic
elegance. It just may charm you to return to the countryside.
In an earlier episode of the show, we went to
Ottumwa, Iowa, a town of less than 25,000. Today, we venture to a town of less
than 1000. Of course, Bend, Oregon, the big city "down yonder" about 30
minutes, is now over 60,000.
If you can you live and work from anywhere,
why do we choose to be where you are?
On a personal note, the producers of this show
struggle with the answer to that question. For this time in our life, we have
answered, "San Diego." And as we see the white-out in the Northeast, and as
much as some of our roots draw us to Boston, we'll be glad to visit for now.
