For some reason, you always struck me out like a West Coast dude, fettums.
Hi, neighbor.

Agreed. I'm in Napa atm, but will be closer to Orange County/L.A. later this year.
And yes Duckeh, my shagging friend, I DO feel like a West Coast dude...

Is there any region of the country you haven't lived in?
I still remember when you were in TX for a spell.

We've ended up becoming fairly nomadic. It was out of necessity in the beginning (20 years ago) because of all the medical stuff. We recently realized (at the age of 49 and 50) that we've got no shot at the Murcan Dream. The only house we've ever owned we didn't start on until I was 45 - there's just not enough time to actually pay it off or build enough equity to amount to anything. We decided this year to cut our losses, buy a camper, and go wherever our kids are going to end up. They'll both be in college within the year our here on the west coast, and we like it here, so one of them will keep a bedroom for us and we're going to do the full-time RV thing for as long as we can, see as much as we can and experience life. We've been unable to save for retirement, always staying one step ahead of bankruptcy. This is chronic illness in the U.S. so we've just tried to outsmart it as much as possible but it's very much a "live for today" lifestyle.
dem - we never lived in TX but spend quite bit of time there trying to get into a transplant program in Dallas. Funny you should mention this because my youngest was asking yesterday how many states we've lived in or travelled through. The tally was: 13 lived in, 31 travelled through. I can add living in 4 more before I was married, as well as 2 other countries, and traveling through 43, which isn't really fair because I was a touring musician in my early 20's. I've travelled in 17 countries during my studies in Middle Eastern history but most were clustered together in the Middle East
