Porches are a prominent feature of homes in Chautauqua. As you walk the tree-lined paths through neighborhoods, you hear lively discussions punctuated with laughter. There is a variety of scheduled “porch chats” on specific topics, but most are impromptu visits among friends—old and new. This photo was taken from the porch of our hosts, Erroll and Elaine Davis. We met in 2008 when Gov. Sonny Perdue appointed me to the Board of Regents and Erroll was chancellor.

I’m no scholar. But in Greek, “utopia” translates to “no place,” which can only be found in books. I’m not talking about that one.
