I left Maryland for West Virginia before I could remember it. Come to think of it, I also left West Virginia before I could remember that too. My very first memory of life is the waves of Lake Erie splashing up against the beach of Geneva On The Lake in Ohio. However, I used to criss-cross North Carolina when working the NASCAR circuit. No, I wasn’t a driver or anything even close to that. I was selling sunglasses at those events. One of my best days, I sold sunglasses in the rain. I took a bad situation (who needs sunglasses when its raining?) and turned it around in my favor by calling them “all weather glasses” and acting like I was happy it was raining because it gave me an opportunity to demonstrate how great they were.

Geneva On The Lake in Ohio

OMG! My parents have family in NY so every spring and fall, we would travel from SW Ohio to NY, every trip passing by the signs for Geneva on the Lake. Every trip my mom would say, "We HAVE to go see that place." So, one trip we had some extra time. Turns out we didn't need much. We headed down the street and the signs pointed us to basically a dead-end. Or my dad got lost and this is where we ended up. Nevertheless, the parking lot led us to a spot that had severe bank erosion. We were all like, "That's it, huh?" And we got back on the highway.
