Al Dente Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Ok, Dr Evil reference aside: Born in Kingston NY and lived in Saugerties until I was 9. My father worked for IBM (I've Been Moved) so we moved to Winchester England for about a year and then back to NY. Then we were transferred to Madison WI where we lived in the town of Middleton. At 12, my folks split up and I moved with my mother down to Raleigh NC where I lived until I graduated from High School. Then I moved to Salisbury MD and lived there for about 4 years despite hating that hick town, but I have family there and also I went to Salisbury University (at the time Salisbury State College). Then I transferred to Ohio State University (now THE Ohio State University) and lived in Columbus for a year and a half. Then I moved back to Salisbury for the opportunity to work for the company my dad ran (not IBM). Did that for 6 years, saved some $$$, and took off for Europe where I traveled through 18 countries in a year. When I returned I moved to Alexandria. Over the next 10 years I lived in Old Town, Shirlington, back to Old Town, over to Del Ray, back to Old Town, then Capitol Hill, and Rockville. Over the past two years I've lived in Fairfax. I haven't lived in the same house for more than 3 years my whole life. I'm considering Madagascar as my next move where I'll pursue my dream of being a lemur. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
