agree…I agree with the whole homogenization concept....with a very mobile society and the ever present Mass Media, people have begun losing some of what made them unique and that's their native accents....with my broadcast career, I was expected to lose the Southeastern Ohio accent and idioms, so that you could work/fit in anywhere in the US, but it's sad to me that many no longer have their unique voices... I love hearing them.....

No, this is my annual trip to Arizona. There won't be any big trips until I'm retired. It's a little longer than the usual two weeks because I get an extra day due to the Columbus Day holiday and then took one more day to recover from the flight back as I don't get in until after 10 PM. If it had been a work-at-home day for me, it wouldn't have been as big a deal and would have gone back on duty on Wednesday.Is this the big trip you have been planning for some time? I wish you great weather, lots of smiles and a fascinating journey!
