13 years

Today is an anniversary for Maxine and me.
On February 9th, (in the year of our lord) 2000, we rolled into town, settled down and began calling Key West our home.

 It hasn't always been easy (life never is) but we've met some good people, made a few great friends and it's always
been fun.

I've long since come down off the edgy, corporate advertising angst I came here to escape and Max?
. . .Well she's become a fearless fighter of the large dogs that get walked past our house every morning.

It's been 13 years and a pretty cool ride.
