Sandra Cross:  

LOTS OF SNOW. The winters seem to get colder and longer, though, so I am thinking of retiring someplace where snow shovels aren't sold, at least during the cold months. Prior to living here, I lived in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. It's close to Biloxi. I worked there for about 3 years. Ever been though a hurricane? When I moved there, I thought living 4 blocks from the beach would be so cool......after hurricane Katrina, there was only one block between me and the beach - the rest was gone. The recovery on the Gulf Coast will take years. Now that BP has fouled the water, there is really an uphill struggle for the Gulf Coast. Let's see, before my Gulf adventure, I worked for a company headquartered in Philadelphia and Chicago, but traveled a lot for work. I have been lucky enough to see Brazil, Argentina, Belgium, France, England, Norway, Denmark, Spain, Canada, Mexico, etc. I live with Lady, my 6 year old German Shepherd and a white cat with blue eyes, named White Cat. I turned 60 this year (how did that happen?), so I have been around awhile. I am still learning, still having fun, and (as Paul Simon said) still crazy after all these years.
