Stand up and be counted

Peripatetic as the wind; Chicago-bred, though Thessalonikki, Greece
is my second home.

No, but I kissed Oscar Wilde's while wearing bright red lipstick.

Another nomad here, PolkaDot...from a family of incorrigible wanderers for generations - our family motto translates from the Latin "Any land is home to a brave man". My parents have family going back six generations in Oz, but met in Houston, Texas where both were working O/S:

London, UK:1973 (Born there)
Vienna, Austria: 1973 - 1976
Sydney, Australia: 1976 - 1980
New York, USA: 1980 - 1983
Sydney, Australia: 1983 - 1985
Singapore: 1985 - 1988
Canberra, Australia: 1988 - 1989
Sydney, Australia: 1989 - 1999 (a long stint...I finished up High School and Uni)
London, UK: 1999 - 2003
Sydney, Australia: 2003 - Current

Tempted as I am to return to Europe, I love my current job so will probably set down a few roots here in Sydney for a while. I have both British and Australian passports. I've also spent quite a lot of time in Ireland, but have never lived there per se.

No, but I kissed Oscar Wilde's while wearing bright red lipstick.

And did you leave Oscar a rose?

 

[Polka Dot]

Nope, I was just following the lead of his many other admirers. His grave is spotted with lip prints.

Jim Morrison's grave, also in P?®re Lachaise, seems to attract even more tourists.

Morrison's seems an obligatory stop. But Wilde's was all the more popular,
and flower strewn.

I'd like to return, and read The Duchess of Padua there by
candlelight--accompanied by a beautiful woman, a flask of Irish
whiskey, and the glow of the heavens....
