My Fantasy, you ask? Why just to find my souther belle and make her mine, that's all. Found her, here on a social network of all places.
We get married in May, Michelle and I, and I can't wait. She is everything i have ever imagined and more. We are comfortable like an old couple with decades of familiarity and yet our time is measured in months. I can't believe that I first met her just 8 months ago...my life hasn't been the same since. True love is so profound, the deep respect I have and the continuing interest in every facet of her life bring a smile to m y face and contentment to my heart.
Minutes from the house, my new job is awesome.
Thanks to my sis and bro who both work for the Austin Chronicle, I get invited to so many music and social events, I honestly am in social overload after years of being focused on domestic duties of rearing a family. But... I wouldn't have it any other way, this is what I came back for, the vivacity of the Texas culture, and I mean to tell you it really is different here.Raised here, I'll die here. Home after 30 years in the Northwest. Texas has held an unshakable place in my heart through it all.
A joyous yet bittersweet feeling to go back home. I know so many great people up in Seattle in both business and my personal life. At the same time, I have such wonderful kinfolk in Port Arthur and Austin. 35 Texas relatives welcomed us back. The boys are doing good in school, I admire their courage, this is a big move for them.Me? Cantakerous, stubborn and known to BS about pretty much anything, you have to be on your toes to distinguish the BS from the truth...typical Texan. Mind, it isn't really to decieve but, rather spoken speculation on what the answer might be.
Opinionated. Brash and ebullient, I refuse to accept anyhting as "the way it is" Quixotic to a fault, I will be tilting at Windmills till I die. I am cause driven and principled; you translate that to "I tend to see in only black & white but am learning gray is the true color of a lot in life". My boys have done pretty good with their stressed out Poppa in spite of long hours and little time to spend with them. Thank goodness they had the loving, nurturing influence of their mother for the first 11 years of life because hanging at my place has surely corrupted them, as much as I would have liked it to be otherwise.One more year and my youngest is out of high school but I am guessing he will hang around a bit more before he spreads his wings. At that time, I am free to pursue my personal dreams. I try to keep a balance between body, mind and soul.Feed all three parts equally.
I enjoy fishing, hiking, camping in my new travel trailer.A dirt bike make the trips a blast.BBQ and Shiner Beer,movies, laughter, a warm friend at my side, waking up each day, watching stars at night....all good things to seek.Still loving my career even after 24 years, life is good today.
