I flew to Minneapolis, picked up my inheritance, bought a brand new BMW R/75, and rode it to California, where I met up with a group of alumni from A.C.S.. One Alumna recommended a lady who had a good reputation as a real estate agent. She was excellent and not before long, she found me the house I would call home for the next 8 years
I accomplished a fair bit in my time there. I got another B.A., in Fine Arts from the San Francisco Arts Institute. I also trained as an amateur boxer at Newman's Gym in the Tenderloin for 3 years; and even participated in the Northern California Golden Gloves Tournament in the Light Heavyweight division.
Oh, my real estate agent soon became my lover; then, my fiancée. We didn't end up crossing the threshold after 3 years of courtship; so, I fell in to a few more relationships which ended and so did my love affair with the 'Paris of the United States'. I had grown tired of its 'gayness' and far left attitudes and missed Europe tremendously; so, I rented out my home and moved back.
I had a lady 'friend' in London who was a producer for the B.B.C. She was most helpful in finding me a bed sit and introducing me to many of her friends. There, I attended the Goethe Institute for a year which prepared me for my next move: Munich.
Munich was awful! I couldn't find anything warm or charming about the German people or their environment; so, I just drank myself stupid for a year, till my Neapolitan friend helped me to settle back in Positano.
Positano was wonderful; but, after 3 years of the same old routine of:
I knew I was getting jaded and wouldn't be able to continue indefinitely; so, I rode my latest BMW to Ireland where I bought a home and reside still. That was in 1990, and since, I have enjoyed learning about Ireland, the Irish people, and myself. This also afforded me the opportunity to join a Masonic Lodge and eventually become installed as the Worshipful Master of that Lodge.
Well, that is really, really, concise; but, it may be embellished upon often in future. The important thing is that it's a good exercise.
