I've lived a fairly mundane existence: grew up in a suburb of Houston, TX, went to college and got a degree, then a Master's just for the heck of it, got a job in Austin, TX and lived there for a decade or so, changed jobs a few times and moved to Portland, OR for another decade and a half. Blah, blah, blah. :-) I learned to paraglide and rock-climb; I traveled to many places around the world and saw them "one dive site at a time". My life has changed dramatically, though, and now instead of "living the good life" I am "living the dream". I live on a sailboat, and am filling in many of the places I missed seeing before. I am exploring the differences between a stationary life and a nomadic one, and am always looking for friends to ponder the mysteries of life with. :-) By the way, I maintain a blog, posting once or twice a month, about our travels, at http://www.lungtalife.com/blog
