Where my spirit has taken me...

My friend Steve has kindly kept BeachKat pages alive for several years while I’ve been running to and fro on the beach and through the woods. I’ve had the best intentions to write a short bio, but retirement is just as busy as others report. It’s a different sort of busy, but I love the liberation of knowing that things like housekeeping can wait until tomorrow or the next day or the next. The orderly life is no longer necessary to maintain schedules or deadlines. Throw caution to the windy coast.

Childhood in southern Oregon was safe and innocent in the 1950’s and 60’s. I loved summertime. My parents worked hard to take the family on a two week vacation each year. Our tent camping advanced to a 16 foot Shasta trailer, and exploration of all the parks and attractions on the west coast, British Columbia and east to Yellowstone. I can still smell the pine trees; feel the warm sun and remember the days spent swimming in the cool rivers and lakes.
