I should tell you something about myself. I grew up in California. I have always lived somewhere here in Southern California, Los Angeles, San Diego, Long Beach, and most recently around the Valleys. I've lived in many cities, but have settled in Chino Hills. It's newish. It's stylish. It's snobby. I don't think that you want to hear about the cities that I lived in.

I've been married and divorced twice. Right now, I am in a relationship, but don't feel that I'll ever marry again. Too much hassle. I have one child from my first marriage. He is grown now and married. Hope he does better than I did. He (Stan) turned out sensibly. I'm not sure how, because he has a feather brain for a mother and me for a father. Guess he got his grandparents' brains. He's a good kid.

Guess I'm hard to live with because I don't like to do what is suggested. When I signed up here, it said that it wasn't recommended to go anonymous. So I went anonymous. I'm undoing that now, but now it's MY idea!

I'm in middle management. Won't say too much about this because I don't know if anyone I know reads these things. As far as that goes, anyone in my life might be reading these. Those are the breaks. Guess I won't get too detailed.

Graduated from one of the State Universities in Ca. They're really pretty good. I think I got a good education. I majored in philosophy. Who majors in philosophy? This was also one of my brilliant ideas, rejecting everything that was "suggested" to me. Wonder if anyone ever checks the college transcripts when they hire you? If they did, I'd never have gotten a job. Philosophy! Why? Because no one ever suggested it to me.

By the way, there have been a few aftershocks of the earthquake, but nothing major. They were hardly noticeable. Many of them weren't even here in Chino Hills. The last I heard the number of aftershocks was over 50. I felt two very slight ones.
