I am a writer and teacher living in California. I'm interested in travel, intelligent conversation​ and laughter. I love sailing, beaches, warm weather and live vicariously through Jimmy Buffet.  This is just about being a Pen Pal.

I beg of you...NO WEIRDOS, PERVERTS OR PANHANDLERS!​ Please do not ask me to be your "FRIEND"​ when you haven't even written to me for I will decline. If you wish for me to write back, please be articulate and say more than 8 words of introduction​.

TIDE TO THE SEA
All of us have in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and, therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea -- whether it is to sail or to watch it -- we are going back from whence we came.

~~John F. Kennedy, Speech given at Newport at the dinner before the America's Cup Races, September 1962
