(6,151 posts)44. Fortunately I traveled widely before retiring
Because my retirement had to be in a remote corner of the wildly xenophobic MidWest, where believe me, the kids leave skid marks as soon as they're old enough to escape because there's nothing here. It has certain redeeming qualities, but a marine aquarium (or club) isn't among them. Neither's a welcome mat for anyone not from the local gene pool - but once again, I think I'm starting to grow on a few people as long as they can resist political assault.
Incidentally, when we lived in SoCal, my son made a Marine World commercial. Everywhere I've lived since, I've hung a small whale toy from the ceiling of the main bathroom over the tub. Fond memories.
