Harrisburg 'Burbs


The story of Jennifer and I, in the Harrisburg 'burbs, on the Main Line (Gulph Mills), or in Center City Philly and State College, all in the skewered, acid-addled summer of '96, is a long-winded one. This vignette attempts to capture one of the most emotionally affecting moments; but leaves an important element out, as it must. The center of the state of Pennsylvania is covered with a patina of "earth magic"; a sense that the elements of nature are alive and dancing around a usually-fumbling human race. The earth magic was there in the Harrisburg 'burbs, too. And in Jen.
