About
I’ve had the good fortune to live in many far-away places; from Brazil to Tokyo, from London to the Middle East.

’04 and ’05 I was working in Amman, Jordan; +ten-hour days, seven days a week, eight straight weeks, followed with twelve days off.
Anywhooo, I jus’ by chance happen to hear the Stones: “Time, time, time is on my side, yes it is”; and THEN I realized, NO it’s NOT.
So I QUIT, and ended a thirty-five year career in Construction Management.
Since August of 2005, I’ve been living in Chiang Mai (the Rose of the North), Thailand.

Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving the “like”! I’m glad it brought me to your blog. You recent post on the abuse of elephants caught my eye- one of my next posts is on the Elephant Nature Park and their rescue of abused elephants. It’s just horrific how these animals are treated. Keep up the good work!
