Toni's Story

Scroll down for latest entry-March 2012 Life (November 2007) You can find me on Facebook. I work too hard...the love of my life lives too far away...other than that Life is Grand! Just got my first poem published and have 2 more coming out in an anthology this April...sweet! More on Life (May 12 08) The bi-coastal relationship is getting old and very expensive so...I am moving to Southern California in August! Woohoo! This would be a good time to buy stock in Banana Boat Sunscreen! City of Angels (May 8 09) I love being an Angelino! I love my new little family! I love my job! I love the weather! I don't love 3 people in a tiny apartment. So we are moving! Just a few blocks away to a house with 3 bathrooms and 5 bedrooms! Yeah...Life is good. In the Big House (July 19 10) After more than 30 years I am back to living in suburbia. A year with 3 bathrooms has totally spoiled me. Almost 2 years since I moved to LA and am finally getting the hang of city living, parenting and (not so) new job. Love living so close to my sis, Dinah. She is in San Diego near her sons and grandkids. BTW I really should have studied in Spanish class. Change is the only Constant (May 2011) Feb 14th my girlfriend asked me to marry her! Diamond ring and all! Feb 15th I had my thyroid removed. It was too big and full of Hashimoto's so we put it out of its misery. Now I am hyperthyroid! I seem to absorb the synthetic stuff very well. Oh the irony of it all. Writing alot of poetry and finally making connections in the LA poets scene. Hope to get some poems published over the next year. Should write a screenplay...selling one in this town is akin to winning the lottery, but one script would pull in more money than all my poems. Going Jet Set (December 2011) Lots of travels this year...some fun and some not so. My mother died July 1st.....Expand for more
.I miss her every day. Spent part of June and most of July with my sis, Dinah, in New York saying good bye to mom and then to all those objects that meant we were home for so many years. Made two trips to Mexico for weddings...not mine yet...waiting for California to come its senses about gay marriage. First wedding was in Cabo at the tip of the Baja penninsula. Second wedding was in San Miguel historic town north of Mexico City. The bride's family owns Hildago's house...look him up in your history book. Totally cool artist colony there...just DON'T DRINK THE WATER. Puked for 2 hour plane ride home and had to be taken off the plane in a wheelchair. I was too sick to be embarrassed. In 2 weeks we are going to South Africa for the holidays. I should be so excited but all I can think about is being trampled by a rhino or mauled by a cheetah when we go to the game reserve! watched too many Tarzan movies as a kid. If I make it back alive...I will post some pics! Survived the Rhino! (March 2012) South Africa was AWESOME! Huge rhino walked right in front of our jeep. He seemed totally disinterested in us...kind of makes one feel insignificant. Got to see so many different ways of living. Hiked in to a village without roads in Zulu-Natal, stayed with wealthy cousins in Durban, hung out with Christian missionaries in Petermaritzburg, checked out the Aparthied Museum in Johannesburg with a friend who is lesbian Afrikaaner, saw Mandela's cell on Robbin Island, stood in Bishop Tutu's church in Cape Town, drove to the end of the earth at Cape Point... Finally! (August 2017) Married my wife in August 2014, and bought my first house in October 2016...bit of a late bloomer! This summer we went to Travis AFB where I attended Golden West Junior High. The air base has totally changed, but Golden West looks exactly the same!
