Hello from Houston.

I've been a lookie loo for over a year now and with all the current jazz decided to post to ease some stress.

I have a beautiful wife and a son who is in college.

So hello from Texas, so glad that DU is here.

Stay Well.

Lived in Spring for a year; Texan born-and-raised, but make my home in the Pacific Northwest.

Hope you enjoy it here.

We live near Spring Cypress area. Surrounded by Trumpers, unfortunately.

We enjoy being close to family, but could use some better neighbors, lol.

Stay Well.

We lived in a leased house in Northampton, surrounded by oil company executives and their spoiled kids. But we attended the comparatively liberal Spring United Methodist Church.

I am active with the Harris County Democratic Lawyers Association and Lawyers for Biden. Houston is a great place to live.

Harris County has been blue for a while and our new county judge is doing a great job

Although I am a native Floridian and have lived in Orlando for more than 35 years, I grew up in Dallas. Very few people here know what to do with a brisket like Texans do.

My love of the Cayuga Duck and the place I lived as a youngster.

That was almost 60 years ago though...wow, so long.

Stay Well!

When we first moved here way back in the 70's with my mom, we lived in the Bear Creek area. I moved off to Florida after High School, but came back later after I got Married.

Stay Well.

In reference to my name, I am neither.

I was born near Cuyahoga Falls in Ohio, but I have a love for Cayuga Ducks. I know about Cayuga Falls in Pennsylvania and Cayuga Lake in New York. So my username is a mashup...

Sorry for the mix-up, but thank you for the belated welcome!

I hope I am still cool...
