Wintering

D. Julius Loeb alternately lives and works on islands in the American Pacific Northwest and the South Pacific. An oil painter and builder, Loeb has successfully avoided meaningful work most of his life. He did succumb to multiple relationships (marriages and otherwise) with some of the world's most remarkable women. Loeb has the great fortune to leave his mark on the planet through four wonderful children who luckily all take after their mothers. Lately Loeb, the ever-lucky rouge, has been further blessed with grandchildren and the promise of more. Life, he says, is too important to be taken seriously.
