I love people; I also love 3 cities & have wanted to live in all three -Portland, Or; New York City; & Seattle, Wa. My sweetheart,of more than 33+ yrs, and I have lived in Seattle and now live v. close to Portland. Laura tells me N.Y. won't be happening anytime soon. We'll see! Always remember to lv people & use things; never the other way around. Risk to adventure; invest deeply for great friendships. Always have a team for all things you want to do well, even golf.
