Michael's Story

Well, I guess it's been a while since written, so being that my classes' 60th is here, I should do an update. The BIG news is that I gave up on the left coast and moved to the west coast of Florida: Naples, Florida.... It was stressful moving from a 4,200 sq. ft. in Port Ludlow, WA into a 2,500 sq. ft. house... but it's beginning to look and feel like home. What I missed the most the normal five months in Puerto Vallarta, as we had but brief visit. On the other hand, Naples has met all of our expectations. Michael I don't know how long it's been since I updated this, but .... Still traveling. Still cruising. Still living in Puerto Vallarta, but now for five months a year ... and I'm thinking about upping it to six to nine months. I'd miss the peninsula if I didn't return for the Dungeness crabs,.. and, I miss my friends, too, but PV has become special. Fortunately, I enjoy very good health. I don't watch major network TV any more, but I've learned to really, really enjoy streaming Korean sagas -- great stories, great music and production qualities.

re successful than I ever dreamed. I retired 2001; left California beaches in 2005 for a fabulous community in the "Banana Belt" (no/less rain) on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington. Still, I visit So. California every once in a while to visit my brother Casey and sister Patricia, but I spend 5+ months abroad each year, My daughter, Maria, works at California State University at Humboldt. My son, Tony, and his wife live in the Pacific Northwest, across the Puget Sound from Seattle. With nothing left to do at this point, other than enjoy life, family, and friends... and, travel, kayaking, Pickleball, and adventuring ... I spend most of my time trying to be a "human being," rather than a "human doing". Because I was too shy, and too burdened with athletics and my studies in high school, I was never terribly sociable. But thanks to Classmates.com, I've connected with quite a few old friends and classmates, and actually communicate regularly with a few. The good news is that old friends are still friends, and I've burgeoning friendships with old acquaintances. :-) Life is good. I hope yours is, too. Stay healthy, Michael
