After a series of geographical cures, I settled in
Norman, Oklahoma and have been in the area since 1975.
Although we have virtually no mountains or bodies of
water that seem to go forever, I've grown to love this
place, people, pace and culture. It's a university
town of 100,000, so there's always something happening,
if I can tear myself away from house and yard projects.
Work, as a social worker in the only state-run
psychiatric hospital, is fascinating and sometimes
frustrating.
My children are "grown". Daughter Leida (30) lives in
Portland and is newly pregnant! Son Bryce (20) is right
now in San Francisco, but mostly lives with his father,
some 20 miles outside of Norman. Foundling dog, Rudy,
has ended up an 88# horse of a dog, who loves to walk
and float on an air mattress.
My plan is to retire once Medicare kicks in and then,
who knows. . . For right now, life is good and am eager
to hear how everyone else's life has unfolded.
