Phase II is now in session. I recently left the workforce to give life a try. I plan to travel, to write and to work on my photography skills. A camera has always been my traveling companion, even when it was just a small Kodak that used 126 format film. I might just run away to Spain . . . or Italy . . . or Vietnam . . . too many places to choose from. So much of the world still to see, and I am going to give it a shot over the next few years.

Originally from Minnesota, I spent twenty-five years migrating up the West Coast, following the fault line from Los Angeles, to San Francisco, and then to Seattle. For the last nine years I have called Northern Virginia home.

Join me as I look back as well as set my sights on the future. It’s hard to move forward if you don’t know where you came from.

I’m the one on the right.
