The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsHello from Houston.
I've been a lookie loo for over a year now and with all the current jazz decided to post to ease some stress.
I have a beautiful wife and a son who is in college.
So hello from Texas, so glad that DU is here.
Stay Well.

We enjoy being close to family, but could use some better neighbors, lol.
Stay Well.

(10,667 posts)You are a Cornellian? Or at least an Ithacan? Either way, very cool and very good!
cayugafalls
(5,640 posts)In reference to my name, I am neither.
I was born near Cuyahoga Falls in Ohio, but I have a love for Cayuga Ducks. I know about Cayuga Falls in Pennsylvania and Cayuga Lake in New York. So my username is a mashup...
Sorry for the mix-up, but thank you for the belated welcome!
I hope I am still cool...
