    35.

    Been to all of them east of the Mississippi, except Vermont and Mississippi.

    None of the North Central or Northwest states from the Dakota west.

    And despite living in Illinois and Missouri the first 30 years of my life, I don't recall ever being in Iowa.

    36 down, 14 to go -- including 9 in that northwestern quarter of the country. Vermont, Michigan and Wisconsin are the only ones east of the Mississippi I haven't made it to.
    It's amazing how hard it is to make it to Vermont and Kentucky. On various road trips, I had been to every state around Kentucky. Finally, when I had an extra hour or so on a trip to St. Louis, I had to veer off and go there just to cross it off the list. It was like that nagging chore you keep putting off. Did the same thing with New Hampshire and Maine. My best friend and I took a road trip to Boston one day and I convinced him to drive an extra hour north so I could cross those two off.
    Vermont is so far out of the way, though, if you're not going there on purpose you'll never get there.

    You might have to check out the Alaska Summer League at some point, too, Buck. There was a nice piece about it in SI a couple of months ago.

    As for written stories in, I'm up to 21, plus Ontario, Canada, and Baja California, Mexico.
