I'm going on my annual vacation. I'm going to soak up the sun. Well, I'll be under a palm tree, but the sun will be close. My favorite place to go is the beach. Second favorite place is the mountains. Combine them and I'm a happy camper (although I hate to camp--my idea of roughing it is a two star hotel). What is your favorite place to go to relax and regroup? Dana Corbit will be my guest

As a college student, I fell in love with Jane Austen in my literature classes, and later
