I am a six foot 59 year-old male Born in San Francisco, raised there part of my life. I am the oldest of nine children. Dad was a baptist and mom was a catholic, go figure. With my folks, I've lived in LA, San Diego, TJ, Glenwood, Iowa, and a few places in Oklahoma. My first vocation was an Operating Engineer although I also have a JD in law and BS in English. I am married to my best of all friends. We have four grown children and only one grandchild (so far). I can't work because I am working on my diabetes and heart disease. My goal is to bring them under control so the grand kids can hopefully meet their grandfather before I have to go. (It's 06/19/09 and I'll write more later.)
