Who am I?

A little history.

I'm Pam.  I was named by my brother, Brad. He was 15 when I was born and not very happy about my arrival.  Think about it.  He was old enough to realize that my existence was evidence his parents were, in teenage parlance "EWWWWWWWWWWWW!"  So in my mother's wisdom she gave up her desire to name me after herself and let Brad name me.  He chose the name of the girl who's locker was next to his.

So I'm Pam.

I am the youngest of the four children born to Ralph and Barbara Crosby.  In addition to the aforementioned bookends, Brad and I, are my two wonderful sisters.  Nancy and Carol. 

I was raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, East Bay actually.  Walnut Creek to be exact.  It was a lovely burg back then in the sixties.  I used to play amongst plum and walnut trees where currently the 680 exits onto Olympic Blvd. 

Through a series of twists and turns, I now find myself in Medford, Oregon.  It's in southwestern Oregon.  It's kind of like Walnut Creek was.  It's a beautiful area that plays host to the wild and scenic Rogue River.  I live here with David, my best friend and husband since 1984.

Together we've owned horses, played golf, camped, skied, ballroom danced...
These days we sail.  And share the care and feeding of the Dogi-lama, Simon.

Professionally, I'm a CPA.  I've been in partnership with the perfect business partner for 14 years now.  We share a common desire to cram our work into about three and half months of the year - tax season.  Easier said than done, but I'm working on it. 

Dreams and aspirations?  I've got a couple.  Currently Dave & I are actively working toward securing a mobile life.  We will sell our fixed home and split our time between rolling and floating homes.  The rolling home has been acquired, a 34 foot fifth wheel.  The boat will come when the house goes.  At this writing it will be a Cooper Seabird 37. 

I feel I've been blessed with the best friends I could ever hope for.  I am surrounded with people who are caring, fun, smart, fun, real.

I enjoy~
Cooking, sailing, reading, writing, friends, driving, walking, camping.  I am happiest when on the move.

Enough about me, who the heck are you?
