I was a Navy brat growing up, and didn't live anywhere long enough growing up to call it a hometown, until Dad retired in '71 and we moved to the Dallas area. As a kid, I lived in California, Washington, Rhode Island(6yrs), Taiwan, Virginia. Moved just north of Dallas when my children were starting school(1988). I love to travel, and spent about a year in Mazatlan, Mexico, loving the slower lifestyle there, and the Mexican people. I visit friends in Cocoa, FL a couple times a year, New Orleans, LA a couple times a year, and love to go to Branson MO, for the music and trout fishing.

I'm trying to remember all those things I had always "planned" on doing when I retired. I have definitely learned in the past few years not to plan too far in advance. I was a career(27 yrs) fireman that retired 4 yrs ago when my wife was diagnosed with cancer. She passed away in November, 2006. I've lived on the East and West coasts, and spent a lot of vacation time on the Gulf coast, I guess I've always been drawn to the ocean. About 6 yrs. ago I bought a small house on a lake, I guess thats the closest thing to the ocean when you live in north Texas. The last few years have been difficult, but some wonderful people here on Eons have helped me survive the death of my wife. My goals for the next few years are to finish remodeling the lake house and to go back to college. I still have time for a second career in something totally different, that I've always had an interest in. My "Life's Philosophy"....Our life is what we make of it, so make the most of it, always have a "Plan B", and keep on truckin'. I've also learned that sometimes we have to pick ourselves up, and dust ourselves off, when we get knocked down. Its always been worth it!
