Places I've been
First trip by train and air to Chicago and San Francisco in 1958. Moved to Silver Spring, MD, 1963. Then back and forth from N.O. to Norfolk, then to settle in Maryland in 1965 because Hurricane Betsy prevented a return home after a tour in the Military. A divorce sent me back home to New Orleans in 1975. There I met a Californian, husband #2, and in 1976 moved to CA. My travels included the entirety of the state of CA and some of Oregon, plus some side trips to Belize and Panama. Lived in Sacramento and Ramona CA. Then back to New Orleans where I experienced another divorce. Then I attained my first and second life's dreams, a college degree and extensive travels to Europe and Montreal. Marriage # 3, to a New Orleans native, led to an exciting new life including a company move to Houston, TX in 1989, and an early retirement move to Clearlake, TX in 1992. In the meantime more exciting travels to Mexico, Aruba, Guatamala, the Virgin Islands, The Canary Islands, Turks and Caico's. Then came the fulfillment of my third dream -- a dream of a lifetime. Purchased a 41' DeFever and took to the waterways for 2 years. Many wonderful days, weeks and months in in such ports as Perdido Key, FL, Tampa, Naples, The Florida Keys, The Bahamas, and finally settling in magnificent Fort Lauderdale, with a summer home in the North Carolina mountains. More travelling included magnificent trips to Indonesia, Singapore, Puerto Rico, Caracas, Cabo San Lucas, and many trips to Cancun, The Bahamas, and all over the US when the mood struck. Life was good. Then, in August of 2005, a visit to New Orleans changed my life again. We got caught in Hurricane Katrina and realized life is, uh, short? In mid 2006, we moved to Pensacola, Florida, a short 2 1/2 hour drive to New Orleans. I spend a lot of time in New Orleans now. We just close up the Pensacola house and stay at Mom's. I visit my dad at the nursing home sometimes, but I am here to help my mother in any way I can.

More about me

I am kind of hard to explain. I'm normal on the outside but complex to a fault on the inside. I am an individual without a beginning, so to speak. I was born and raised in New Orleans. I completed my formal education there. My formative years impacted me profoundly, although I don't remember a whole lot about those years. It's like a misty dream. I weave through a myriad of memories, but there are dark rooms in between. I did not excel in my early years of schooling. I did not have friends, I didn't participate in class activities unless I was forced. I saw myself as a shadow in the background. I was there, but I wasn't. I had to leave quickly. I moved away at 17. I needed to appear normal in order to live peacefully on the planet; of that I was certain...
