| Cool Stuff I've Done in the Last
25 Years |
I lived in Japan for a year, 3 years in
Hawaii, spent some time on those little Islands you read
about in history books, Wake Is., Midway Is., Guam.
Became a pilot at Ford Island Hawaii, love that feeling
of flying a tiny single engine plane between Islands when
you can’t see any land, only water, sky and clouds.
I look back with terror when I used to rappel out of
helicopters, then get towed thru the air at 3000 feet,
those were the good ol' days! Spent 10 years in the
Marine Corps, lots of bitter-sweet memories. On the
family scene, my first marriage lasted 8 years, producing
4 boys. After I left the Service I went back to college
in Idaho, met my wife there (blind date-she must have
felt sorry for me). We now have 2 boys, the other 4 boys
visit once in a while.
I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow
up. I have spent a lot of time going to college, but not
much to show for it. I’m just a few classes away
from degrees in Psychology, Communications, and Fine Art
, but don’t plan on finishing any time soon. Now I
am Mr. Mom. Laundry sucks! I love landscaping, remodeling
my house (Joann wants me to finish some year soon). I do
miss SLO a lot. Oregon is beautiful, green with trees,
incredible salmon fishing 5 miles away, water every
where-but it can’t compare to the wonderful memories
of living in San Luis.
