Introduction | I left Pgh for Wake Forest Univ. at 18, and stayed in NC after I dropped/flunked out. Over the years I moved from Winston-Salem, to Charlotte, and then Raleigh, and learned the hard way that I am not a good businessman. Lastly, I sold a small nightclub I owned and moved to a furnished condo at the beach, while trying to figure out what to do next. My parents were aging fast so I moved back home to Pittsburgh 10 or 12 years ago, went to a tech school, and took a job with the phone company. The timing was good as I was divorced with no kids, unlike my brother, and my parents' needs were growing. I worked night shift for 9 years so I could look after them during the day, even taking 6 weeks off from work to be 24/7 caregiver for Dad as he died. I promised them both they would die at home and not a nursing home, and fulfilled that promise. After their deaths, I resumed a dream to buy a boat and "go". I am almost 56 at the time of writing, divorced, with no children (which allows me the freedom to make this decision). |
