Paul's Story
I CAN'T BELIEVE I[M BACK ON THE EAST COAST. I LEFT NEW YORK IN 1977 TO SEE WHAT WAS OUT THERE BEYOND THE GREAT URBAN MECCA. I WORKED ON LOBSTER BOATS IN THE FLORIDA KEYS FOR A FULL SEASON BEFORE THE CALL OF ROAD INTRUDED AGAIN. I WAS ON MY WAY TO ALASKA BUT DIDN'T QUITE MAKE IT. INSTEAD I WOUND UP IN SEATTLE FOR THE NEXT EIGHT YEARS THIS WAS FROM 1978 TO 1986. THEN I MOVED BACK TO NEW YORK TO FIX UP THE OLD HOUSE ON HAHN AVE. SO MY MOM COULD PUT IT UP FOR SALE. I LEFT AGAIN AT THE END OF 1988 AND MOVED TO MONTANA. I BOUGHT TWENTY ACRES ON A HEAVILY WOODED MOUNTAIN WHERE NATURE STILL HAS THE UPPER HAND. I'VE SET MYSELF UP TO BE OFF THE GRID AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. I LOVE THE RUSTIC LIFESTY...Expand for more
LE, ALTHOUGH MY WIFE DIDN'T. I WAS MARRIED FOR FIVE YEARS AND FOUND BEING A BACHELOR IS EASIER.
LAST YEAR MY SISTER ROSE CALLED AND ASKED IF I COULD COME BACK AND LOOK AFTER MY 88 YEAR OLD MOTHER. SINCE I HAVE A BACKGROUND IN THE HUMAN SERVICES I FOUND A FRIEND TO HOUSE-SIT FOR ME AND HERE I AM IN MY MOTHER'S CONDO IN MANCHESTER CONNECTICUT. TALK ABOUT A CULTURE WARP. ONE MORNING I'M DOING MY REGULAR ROUTINE IN KALISPELL MONTANA AND IN THE AFTERNOON I'M BACK EAST DOING THE CITY THING. I'M HAPPY TO SAY I'VE HAD A VERY PLEASANT AND ENTERTAINING LIFE SO FAR. I ENJOYED GOING TO ISLAND TREES AND WOULDN'T CHANGE A THING ABOUT THOSE FORMATIVE YEARS.
