I was born and raised in what was a small Kansas town. There was a brief stint in Denver, then back to the Kansas City area. In 1980 I moved to Houston and later to Austin. In 1997 I moved back to Kansas and lived with my brother out in the middle of nowhere. Hated it, but it had to be done. When he passed away in 2000 I moved back to my old hometown until 2005, when I moved to Leavenworth Ks. In 2007 I came back to Austin and will likely spend my remaining years on earth here.
