As much as I consider myself to be Californian, the "Iowa Way" frequently creeps it's way into my lifestyle. I still enjoy tuna casserole on occasion, think it's silly to argue whether soda pop is "soda" or "pop", and marvel at the problems Californians have when driving in the rain.
Last summer, after a trip back home during the famous Iowa State Fair and watching the movie/musical "The Music Man" 500 times, I couldn't help but make a comparison between myself and the heroine Marian Paroo (Shirley Jones). I'm sorry, this is really geeky.
