About Me:
 
I was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and spent my early years in New Orleans. By junior high I was living in Richmond, TX, outside of Houston, where my stepfather landed a job with a deepwater drilling company as an administrator. That job took us to Cairo, Egypt, where I spent my first 3 years of high school in a closely-knit American community, and from where I had the opportunity to travel to Paris, Athens, Rhodes and around Egypt on many school trips. My senior year of high school was spent in Singapore, from whence I was able to take short trips to Bankok, Bali, and Kathmandu. Doing all this traveling at such a young age left many a profound impression on me, chief among them that people are the same underneath the skin anywhere you go. I also learned to play guitar an developed an interest in becoming a musician during this time. I returned to the States in 1981 to attend college, and my days of company-paid trips were soon to be a thing of the past. Much partying and indecision later, I graduated from Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond, LA, with a Bachelor of Arts in Music in 1988. I had married in 1987, and so, having new resposibilities, I went to work in the Food Service industry in Houston. In 1991 I was hired by Enterprise Leasing to work in the wholesale department, and over the next 5 years became an Area Remarketing Manager, selling 300-800 rental and leasing cars to dealers every month. All this without ever using the Internet. In 1996 I bought my first computer and began trying to teach myself everything I could learn about how to use it. Since then I have worked in many different occupations, and I have tried to learn something new from all of them. I now live in Hammond, LA with my wife of 20 years, Liz, and our two Persian cats.

Nice journal. Heard you mention Robert Pirsig. Have you read "Blue Highways" by William Least Heat Moon? Also, a good travel book.

Happy Trails, and see you back in the good Bayou State. Stop by in Lafayette anytime. - Dave
