Location

Mount Pleasant, SC

Hometown

The South (my dad was transferred often)

Places I've been

All over the southeast and also a good bit of the USA. I've been to Greenland, crossed the Arctic Circle, and seen the Northern Lights while dancing to zydeco music on the deck of a ship. I've touched a gray whale in the San Ignacio Lagoon in Mexico's Baja, and seen some of Europe, too. The Caribbean is, and will continue to be, a favorite. Australia is on my Wish List. Every day is a new adventure, and a gift waiting to be opened.

More about me

A Southern kid by birth and choice. I've lived all over the southeast, mid Atlantic, and even farther north. I'm now living on the SC coast just a few minutes away from the ocean. Life is good!

"According to my watch the time is now
The past is dead and gone
Don't try to shake it, just nod your head
Breathe in, breathe out, move on
Don't try to explain it, just bow your head
Breathe in, breathe out, move on."

~Jimmy Buffett

"The decision to kiss for the first time is the most crucial in any love story. It changes the relationship of two people much more strongly than even the final surrender; because this kiss already has within in that surrender."

~Emil Ludwig

"Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one.”

"If you never did you should. These things are fun and fun is good."

"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life's realities."

“You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”

~ Dr. Seuss

Favorite Movies

The African Queen, The Producers (the original), The Great Escape, The Big Chill, Happy Feet, Forrest Gump, Juno

Activities

3-4 mile daily walks with my dog. In general, I just enjoy being outdoors! I like live music, concerts, festivals, reading, photography, and crazy road trips (some things never change). Regular travel is also something I can't do without. Lots of ground to cover yet.........
