Doug's Story
Done a few things:
Oberlin College,
Studied in Kyoto, hitched around Japan, got a BA.
Followed my heart to California,
helped runaways and disabled adults,
cycled to work, grew organic gardens,
went bust, crossed back country again.
Moved to Boston, met my wife,
dropped in, then out, of Mass Art school
Taught challenging teens English and outdoor adventure, bulked up like everyone else there.
Managed a Japanese translation agency, thinned out
Had a girl, fattened up
Starting road skating to work,
Did tech writing for multi-lingual software, then web applets, then security, could care less, loved reading to the kids at my daughter's kindergarten, still into languages, so...
We moved to a farmhouse outside Ithaca,
where we could swim in the creek or ski in th...Expand for more
e woods almost every day,
Started another raised bed garden,
and I got my "post-Soph" BS at Cortland State and
Master at Ithaca College in speech-language pathology.
Now we bought a mountaintop cape in the woods
Moved the compost from our garden in 4 truckloads
I work at the hospital in Cortland as an SLP
Our daughter is into art and music like I was.
We walk the dogs, garden, and plant trees,
a felled half an acre by hand to dig a pond,
so we can swim some more...
Lately I play music with Ithaca Ukes and with Your Friends & Neighbors, an open Contra Dance band. Acoustic jam scene is great in Ithaca.
