I recently made a big decision about my life. I have moved from Easthampton, MA to New Orleans, LA.
I’m 80 years old and in whatever time I have left here in this existence I thought it would be best to add a little “life” to my life. Some enjoyment! An adventure!
I have really enjoyed the Pioneer Valley since first arriving as a UMass freshman in 1963. Over the years I have traveled to and lived in different areas of the USA and in Scotland. For a variety of reasons I usually returned to the Valley. My most recent stay was for about 20+ years with stops in Northampton, Shelburne, Buckland, Colrain and Easthampton. I felt it was time to experience life in a new place.
I’ve visited New Orleans in the past and thought it to be quite interesting – music, food, culture, architecture, joi de vivre – and now, here I am, ready to begin anew as a full time resident. Yes, it is a city and it is very different from the Valley that’s for sure.
The most immediate effect is that I will at last, avoid another Winter in the Northeast.
On this website I’ll be adding some words and pictures ( on my Blogaloney page ) to describe “stuff” happening to me here. And, there will be a Pictures page where I’ll add lots of pictures of New Orleans and New Orleans life. I’m excited to unpack my Nikon.
So, “Laissez les bons temps rouler”
