After living on the East Coast and in the South, I am fortunate enough to have returned to the State of Kansas where I was born, bred and wed.
We settled in the small town where I attended college during the 60's, happy to be in a place where not much has changed since, and where the prospects for change are dim.
I used to say when I retired I wanted to drive a school bus and write the great American novel. Now I content myself with putzing around the house and writing the occasional tidbit. That great American novel? It's probably where it will always remain, half finished.
