Scuba Diving Nurses

In Missouri I was certified as an Open Water Diver in the early 1980s and lucky to get stationed in California while serving in the Navy. There are pristine dive locations all over the west coast. Lajolla, Catalina Island, Channel Islands, and Leguna Beach come to mind. I was stationed at a naval hospital inContinue reading “Scuba Diving Nurses”

A good book, couple of movies, sketch pad, map of the park, hiking trails, fishing gear, 30 amp plug in, camp fire, can of beans, hotdogs, hamburger and life is good again.

Finally Decided To Get On WordPress

All I ever wanted to do was draw cartoons and camp out. Somehow, about 40 years ago, I got side tracked and fell into the health care profession. Saved some coin, bought a camper, and recently disappeared back into the woods where I belong. Took a sketch pad and magic markers too. I have ownedContinue reading “Finally Decided To Get On WordPress”
