Re: seeking quiet place to write

Professor,

Try some local Christian Camps ; they often rent a cabin or dorm type
room for one adult . The grounds are normally very quiet and peaceful
and the scenery is typically beautiful to encourage reflection on ones
life as well as God. 

Many State Parks have lodging whereby you can stay in a room and enjoy
the serenity of the outdoors among nature.
I stayed at one a couple years ago in Northern Illinois, in November,
and struck it lucky with the temp. climbing into the upper 60's.  Made
for a very nice refreshing weekend getaway.

Good luck , Dave
