30 years later I can still remember Ted Nugent's "Stranglehold" coming on the radio shortly after leaving for our graduation ceremony in Everett. How fitting! It played almost the whole drive up 99.

I've lived in a bunch of different states and at one time or another have crossed the country by car, plane, train, motorcycle, 18-wheeler, and bicycle. Before 1998 I did lots of bicycle tours including a couple in Norway. The most recent was from Camano Island to Boston in 1997.

I always wanted to be a long-haul truck driver but didn't finally pursue it until 1994. I really like the constant travel, being in one place one day, another the next.

My current residence is in Laughlin, Nevada, about 100 miles south of Las Vegas. I enjoy playing poker, bowling, bicycling, and building websites like lhs78.org.
