Men are dogs. I know this to be true because this man is the exception that proves the rule. Okay, I'm biased, but what the heck, I'm allowed! Here's what he says about himself:

September 17th 1962 in Lancaster, CA, my birth mother died when I was nine months old and I took a five day trip to Chicago and surrounds with my older brother and sister while dad settled the arrangements. I returned to Lancaster and my father remarried when I was three. I remained in Lancaster, except for periodic vacations to Oregon and Utah, visiting the step-brother I acquired when my father remarried. I also acquired a little sister shortly thereafter. I played ice hockey and football in local youth leagues along the way.
Graduation from high school sent me to Orange County and the University of California at Irvine. I spent five years there earning Bachelors degrees in chemistry and English; not the most common combination. After graduation I circulated among a series of computer and other high technology companies, coming to "rest" most recently at ALR (now Gateway Computers).
Girlfriends were a way of life from jr. high through most of my college career. Then came a loooooonnnng dry spell. One false start after that and then I discovered my lifemate. Kinda embarrassing actually as I had known her for four or five years by then. We met on a BBS, she wasn't dating, so I shelved my interest and we became good friends. Then another friend told me that Vicki liked me.
Southern Renaissance Faire, the kissing bridge and the rest is history. Well, living history. One awesome wedding later and here we are, right smack-dab in the middle of the story. I'm now a husband and father (Father to a precocious teenager.) I'll let ya know how the story comes out, just as soon as I get to the end of it.
