I LOVE CHANDLER, ARIZONA

I am the luckiest man on the face of the earth! OK....I stole the quote from the great Lou Gehrig. Chandler Arizona is everything I hoped for and more. The house is beautiful, the weather totally beats NY winter, the shopping is great, the golf courses are beautiful (although I haven't had time to play yet), the bowling centers are surrounding me within 2-3 miles each direction (although I have been avoiding them), casinos are plentiful (no, I don't go every night.....in fact we've only been to Harrahs Ak-Chin one time).....and if we don't feel like cooking, we could go to restaurants every night of the year for at least two years without repeating restaurants.I miss my shop, and my fellow bowlers......and of course Dylan, Logan and Bella (although Grandpa Gary will probably, God-willing, be around a lot longer without NY winters and climate.)
My darling Marti has been keeping the world informed on Facebook, with comments and pics of the beginnings of our new life together. As I have said before, I truly wish we could have a "Kennedy compound" here in the East Valley and have our whole family here! Lets see......Liz and Scott running, BestBuy western USA, Marisa a full professor at ASU, Craig head foreman for DirectTV, Jeanine doing whatever she wants as she enjoys our grandchildren.....Jeffrey setting up roots here between his world travels......and, of course, our Lora is here, already. Ah......what is life if you can't dream!
Marti has helped make most of my dreams come true.......and as much as I loved her in NY.....I love her even more....HERE!
