All my life I've been rowing against the tide. What can I do? It seems I was born that way.

I was born in South Bend, and I've been a Hoosier all my life.

Swing dance has been a part of my life since I was born.

I was born in St. Louis but lived there just for a few minutes in my life.

I was born in Fayette County, over in Lexington, Kentucky, but I was raised most of my life in Paintsville.

I'm inhabiting a life I'm not supposed to be in... and at certain times in my life, I have felt a wrongness. And not a moral wrongness but a sense that this isn't what I was born to be doing.
