More about me

After having two long-term spouses (5 & 14 years) cheat on me, I have lived almost alone for 22 years with an extremely loyal standard poodle as my lone constant companion. The longer I live, the dumber I find the human race. Not 'holier-than-thou', just being realistic (please see unofficial mensa thread). Although English is my second language, I have had significant success as a documentation specialist serving high-tech industries in fields like aerospace, telephony, computers, medical, etc.
