Xanadu is the name of our home in the hills above Cabarete. This is not derived from the 1980's ELO/Olivia-Newton-John song, but rather from the 1816 poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

"In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea."
Since we have a couple of acres we have horses, pigs, ducks, dogs, platinos, cana, etc. we refer to the whole place as Xanadu Ranch. Click the link at left for a DR1 thread with photos and other details.

In the beginning I was just Tom. Than another Tom started to post and pissed a lot of people off. I added the first initial of my last name to distinguish us apart.

WOW - look at all of you actively working....

I live in Elizabeth, work in Teaneck, have lived everywhere in Essex County, and once in Miami.

Xanadu Ranch - can i visit you when I go down there? Sounds like a dream... Thanks for the poem.

Chris - where in NYC do work? Worked on Fifth Avenue for about 5 years before 9/11.

Hey, we are so close!
In fact, when I was research on purchasing a house I found that Mountainside offered the lowest taxes in Union County.

Im usually there (Rte 22) every weekend for something (movies, shopping or the Olive Garden).

Don't know about lowest taxes in Union County. Ours are pretty high. But, we're in the mountains, so that probably makes a difference. We just bought there.

The reason I took up scuba diving, it's cheaper than a beer buzz..

Nitrogen Narcosis or "rapture of the deep" is the effect nitrogen build-up in the blood-stream has when you dive below 100 feet.

It gives you a slightly narcotic effect.
