On Leaving New York and Moving Out West


One of my last photos of the city.

It’s funny. People thought I was a “diehard New Yorker,” that I’d never leave, and that I wanted to stay there forever.

I don’t know where they got THAT from – but it wasn’t from me. I’d been looking for a way to get out of there for at least the past five years!

So when an opportunity arose for me to move out west and live in a desert climate, I embraced it with open arms!

I think I was always destined to live out here. Take a look at this picture of me at the age of about 3 or 4, dressed as a little cowgirl:

It’s a lot healthier to live out here in the clear fresh air, let me tell you, and it’s beautiful, too – just beautiful!

Onward and upward to all new adventures!

Here’s a few photographs.
