I Never Meant To Leave

I have lived in the following cities, in this order:

- Portsmouth, VA <-- Birth
- Los Angeles, CA
- Phoenix, AZ
- Spokane, WA
- Spokane Valley, WA
- Deer Park, WA
- Gresham, OR
- Edmonds, WA
- Portland, OR
- Spokane, WA
- Colbert, WA (North of Spokane)
- Peoria, AZ (Just North of Phoenix) <-- Currently

I spent my summers from ages 4-10 in Memphis, TN, with my grandparents. Other than that, I’ve been mostly sheltered in the Northwest, until the latest jaunt to Peoria.

I’ve been to Canada just a couple of times, and Mexico, once. Interestingly, 2 of the 3 trips were with my buddy Brent Carey. So yeah, I’ve not traveled the world or anything, though I’d certainly like to.

Where do you live?

    I once lived in Kansas City and worked on a horse farm. 70 horses and I was the only assistant. Whew… Then I moved to the middle of nowhere Willmar MN to a horse farm to become their only assistant. Finally I settled (so far) in the Twin Cities (MN) and DO NOT work on a horse farm but I have MANY assistants. It took me about 6yrs. to realize that I shouldnt be working on other people’s horse farms. Now I do lighting for Rock shows!!!

    LiTeS is my boss! I am one of her MANY subservient creatures… Well, actually I have to pass my toils to my youngest son because there is another position that I cover on the Rock Show tonight! I worked wif LiTeS last night and even though she gots better horse sense than I, yet she is about 100 y3ars younger than me… She is held in esteem. (sigh)

    I live in New Hampshire, and have for most of my life.
    Killeen Texas was home for about a year while married to my ex; and Biddeford Maine was home for about a year while working at the Journal Tribune.
    Australia was a temporary home for six months while on a student exchange.
    I have done many things, but still have not found a way to be heart happy and fiscally sound at the same time.
