Thanks for visiting my blog. Grew up in California...Went east for college and, later, work, and never returned to California as a resident...Have a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology...Worked in private practice settings for most of my career...Now retired...Married to Mrs. Bear (Lela) for 50 years...Spent most of my youth travelling the beautiful landscapes of our continent...Went into a time window to see the rest of the world until COVID kept us closer to home. Now we are back on our travel agenda, both domestically and internationally, and, as always, love to share some of our impressions on the Blog.
