Places I've been

Been to the Bahamas and Cayman Islands in the Carribean. Moved to SoCal in 2000 from Minnesota to be close to wife's family and to escape the cold and snow.

More about me

Hi.  I am the oldest of six kids, born in Michigan.  My Mom and Dad moved three of us kids to Minnesota when I was five.  I graduated highschool in '69 and went to the University of Minnesota, where I majored in partying, so pretty much wasted my money on that...no degree.  First full time job in '73 and been in computers ever since...that was before the PC came along...I operate mainframes, still.  Got married at 46 to a woman I met in a chatroom on the internet.  She is a beautiful woman with three beautiful daughters.  We have five wonderful grandkids.  We're all within a few hundred miles of each other in SoCal.  Life is good.
