Allow me to reintroduce myself

Before we move forward, I'd like to go back for a while. I'll let you know more about myself, my influences, lessons learned, etc.

Ever heard of Clewiston, FL? Try google mapping it, but you'll have to zoom in a lot to see it. This is where I was born and spent the first few years of my life. I don't remember much about it. I do remember our bassett hound, marie. I remember playing outside in the hot sun and brushing off ashes that would blow in from the sugar mill. I remember going to a highschool football game with Dad and Tim. I also remember the grand opening of a K-mart. It was quite the event for that little town. I think the mayor was even there to cut the ribbon.

Here I am with my parents in 2005 outside of the room I was born in. A year after I was born, they shut down that unit of the hospital. Can't say I blame them.

We then moved to Ocala, FL (2 1/2 years)

Kissimmee, FL (8 1/2 years)

Panama City, FL (2 years)

Then we moved to Fairfax, VA in October 2000. I've been back and forth between FL and VA since then but have now settled in VA for the time being.

Here are some random Florida pictures:
