        and city on silent haunches and then moves on.

From the harbor at sunset to looking up through the trees on Whidbey Island, to the Chihuly Glass Art Museum, the flowers everywhere in spring, I do live in a beautiful world!

All seasons are beautiful for the person who carries happiness

What Can I Say?

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
