How about Tucson? Although this time of year it’s getting steamy down there already. We go there every fall and it’s nice. We’re only a little north of you and we make it a roadtrip. Sigh…I hate road trips. Yours sound fun, though!

Have I rambled on enough? LOL

Hi Kathy,
Thanks, but in an ironic twist of fate, I’ve got travel on my mind BECAUSE of Tucson. Somebody I know is stuck out there with no money trying to move back to Chicago.

She’s a little mad that I keep telling her to “try harder.” But in a free country, single, no kids, not that many possessions; I don’t see a move as being impossible.

Sounds like she wants “Super Hero Dave” to fly in to her rescue…=/

Surprise, surprise

It started out as “I want to do it on my own.” And having been a man all my life I said, “ok.” Let’s just wait and see how long before…

You know, a BIG part of this blog’s creation has to do with spending 2 (almost 3) years helping a woman, her kids, her mother get their life reassembled after her split from her husband. And then 7 DAYS after I moved her into a house she was cheating on me. So i take a very hands off approach now.

I need to go somewhere too… dag on gas prices are keeping me from vacationing, but I’ve decided to vacation in my immediate area. Should be fun.

Hello sHae
Yeah, local are trips can really satisfy the need to travel with the small pocketbook (or wallet). I used to do it all the time in LA. And I got a book out the library called Wild Chicago that’s got a lot of junk like a big ball of string or rubber bands in a close by suburb (there’s other stuff in there too)!

Sheesh, that sucks. I’d be pretty hands off too after being shit on like that.

How did you end up in Chicago? Are you downtown or a suburb?

Hi Kathy!
That is the additional irony of the situation. I spent a LOT of time getting into a land fighting unit in the Navy Reserves. A LOT. And I finally got into the Seabees AND managed to get into one of the few deploying units for Iraq. Then I heard from her, and her spiel was “this is happening, that is happening, I’ve loved you since…” so I got a release to come and help. Left my Los Angeles life and my military life.

“Full disclosure” as they say; I also wasn’t happy with my mother’s quality of life out here, and I’m not a military guy by nature, but I had worked in the WTC during my NYC decade.

And so I’m right in the City’s South Side.

Wow! I sensed that you were an honorable guy and now I see I was right!

My husband has a lot of family in the ‘burbs and so we travel down and through a couple of times a year…I’m a little familiar with the territory!

Hi Kathy-yeah I think on your site you mentioned your Chicago/husband connection.

And “honorable?” Well, I’m just a guy doin’ my thing…
