Welcome to my newest blog site.  I’m trying out Word Press because I’m starting initial work on a book that will hopefully work in tandem with my blog site and I want to test Word Press out.  I post mostly essays about relationships, children, families, girl stuff and travel — not necessary in that order of importance.   I have a brilliant 22 year old college student for a daughter, and a wonderful fiancee (although we’re pretty committed to the idea of not ever getting actually married.   I’ve recently travelled to Europe and plan to do so again next year if I can swing it.  I live in Pompano Beach, FL but would someday like to retire maybe in Costa Rica.  Hope you enjoy my posts!  Comments are welcome and encouraged.
