My wife Anna and myself are now getting along in years and we have started the discussion of where we would like to retire. We have a wonderfully comfortable home in the suburbs of Denver, but we both agree that a warmer climate beckons in the future, all though that may not be for quite a few years yet. The story of how we originally met is a fun one, so many years ago in Tallahassee, Florida when I was a student at Florida State University and she was there visiting a friend coming over from Pensacola for the weekend, and we decided to take a trip back to the panhandle for a week to visit Anna's mom Virginia and have her daughter who would fly down from the Big Apple where we would spend time on the Gulf Coast in a beach house for the week which was so graciously rented by Virginia. I had not been back to that part of the world since the early 80's. It's still fantastic with the most amazing seafood you can find anywhere, just stop by Joe Patti's sometime to see for yourself. It was a great week. We will be back, sooner than later, and probably for good in the distant future...
