And he has really moved! Michael Kevin Monson, age 57, my youngest child (of four) known as Mike has lived in Modesto, California for around 20 years. He made a little move recently. He now lives in Kona, Hawaii. I estimate that instead of living 2000 miles from me, he now lives about 5000 miles from me.
I live at A in Ruston, Louisiana and Mike lives at B in Kona, Hawaii as shown on the map above. It is going to make it hard to drop by and visit him on my final farewell tours of the West Coast. (If I make another tour.)
I admire Mike and his wife Rebecca for making such a striking change in their life. Mike liked Modesto and he liked his job as a paralegal. Unfortunately the job required a 4 to 5 hour commute. That is one way. He faced 10 hours of travel every work day! That is a lot of reading and smart phone usage. He can now do that at home.
Mike has always loved writing. He once was a reporter for a newspaper in Tyler, Texas. He has been writing fiction short stories and has completed a novel. He has had success, such as being published and earning some money for his efforts.
If we can get him off the beach and out of the surf (He lives 7 miles from the ocean.) and on his word processor he will get much more writing done. I wish him success and send him my love and admiration. Good Luck, Mike and Rebecca!
I admire them too! Good for them for going for or and making the move
