Home Base #1 — The emerald jewel of the Lower Forty Eight. My home is in Friday Harbor Washington in The San Juan Islands. We’re a quick hop by boat or plane from Victoria British Columbia. I spend six months and a day here. (Taxman, note.)

Home Base #2. One of the most scenic areas of The Lower Forty Eight. Page Arizona, my hub, sits at the center. Travel north, south, east, or west from Page and you’ll be greeted by an abundance of sublime scenery. I spend five months and twenty nine days here. (Taxman, note.)

Home Base #3 - Travel. That constant urge takes me and my wife, Carol Merrifield, away. That’s her next to me at a castle near Amsterdam.
