Journal   Musings & Notes
What would I be if I left Bellingham and Whatcom County without visiting my starting places one last time? Including the Travel House Inn where I spent 4½ months of my life? Bellingham has been my LIFEBOAT. And where I formulated PLAN 'B' and started CHAPTER 2. Where my ex-wife RESCUED ME. Her finest hour. Perhaps my lowest.   it's been two years and three months. I leave with heavy heart. And yet optimism. I know I'm doing the right thing for me. No regrets. I have nothing but good things to say about Bellingham. You're a great city and your people are a wonderful community. Thank you. Namaste. And good night.
