I was born in the Best City in the Universe, San Francisco. To quote Herb Caen, ā€œWhen the city is all covered with fog, itā€™s like living inside a great gray pearl.ā€ I now reside in the damp, green, and beautiful state of Oregon. I wish the entirety of San Francisco could be transplanted to Oregon.

I live about 25 miles east of Cleveland Ohio, in Painesville. I grew up in southern Ashtabula County, OH, in a small town most havenā€™t heard of (1 stoplight, just a post office and a feed mill).

I was born in the Royal Womenā€™s Hospital in Perth, Western Australia. Grew up for the first 10 years of my life in a little town called Katanning in rural Western Australia, before my family drove to Ayr in Queensland where I spent the next 7 or so years of my life. Then Brisbane for University, followed by 10 months in Wuhan, China where I studied Mandarin just because I wanted to. This was followed by Hong Kong where I worked for about 18 months (including during the handover to China in 1997), and then to Manila, Philippines where I will shortly be celebrating my 20th year anniversaryā€¦

Born in a tiny obscure village named Los Angeles and presently live in Dallas, a small rural town in the middle of Oregonā€™s incredibly fertile Willamette Valley. Heaven on earth as far as Iā€™m concerned. :sunglasses:

Iā€™ve even been to Murfreesboro. Well, actually, Iā€™ve driven through it . . . :wink:

P.S. Gary didnā€™t mention it, but Murfressboro is next door to the site of one of the bloodiest battles of the civil war. (Stones River, New Yearā€™s Eve 1862, 25,000 killed or wounded; 6th costliest battle of the entire war.)
