Greetings:November 2nd

My Parents February 1972

Good day people. After some thought and input from family and friends, I have decided to start this blog.  Life is changing at a rapid rate and in many ways I must start over.
I am in California near San Diego and enjoying the clean air and the moderate mild temperatures. My sister has taken me in and has helped out a great deal and I have helped around the house with some little things that have not been done.
Its different here, you must have a car. If you do, the roads are in nice shape and it 20 min from La Jolla and to downtown San Diego. The prices of homes are still way high. I did hear that a home can be had for 30,000  in Arizona due to the horrible housing slump that has engulfed that state and Nevada. I know friends that plan to move out there to be with a daughter who is already out there.
It seems what goes on in childhood follows you as you get older. Its so Freudian to say that. In fact its a bit cliche at times. On some level its true and as life goes on and experiences go by it become clearer especially when it is discussed with family and friends. At this time, I am still trying to figure this all out and make my own mark in this world with the time I have left. I will be 50 years old this November 5th and it will be to paraphrase Dickens; The best of times and the worst of times. Its as REM sang in their 1986 Album "Life's Rich Pageant" the song "Begin the Begin"    http://youtu.be/rePNg6MmdEQ

Life's rich demand creates supply in the hand Of the powers, the only vote that matters Silence means security silence means approval On Zenith, on the TV, tiger run around the tree Follow the leader, run and turn into butter

My friends and family I turn to you.
