Moved to San Antonio, TX in 1979 and met Red Rider, the love of my life.
We then moved to Pasco, WA in 1980 then back to SA six months later. Got married in 1981 and moved to Baton Rouge, LA
Moved back to Corpus Christi, TX in 1982 just in time for our first born. Moved to Jangsungpo Republic of Korea in Jan 1983 then back to Corsicana, TX in 1984. Moved to Seoul Republic of Korea in 1985 and moved back to Corpus Christi six months later. One month after that moved to La Porte, TX where my son was born in 1986. Six weeks later moved to Buellton, CA. Moved on to Lompoc, CA about 2 months after. 1988/89 found me on temporary assignment in Cincinnatti, OH while RR and company stayed in Lompoc. From 1992 til 1997 I traveled all over the US and the Carribean working as an independent consultant for 2 wk to 2mo jobs. 1998 found us moving to Vacaville, CA and we are planning on staying here for a long time. Moving sucks.

TWL, seems we were in SA at the same time.

Been a Southern California kid my whole life. Born in Los Angeles, grew up in Glendale, got married and moved to eastern L.A. county where I now live. I've always wanted to live somewhere in Oregon so I hope to add that to my residential resume one day.

SaiKaiTai

Let's see...
born in SF in '53
Folks moved me to Pacifica in '55
Moved back to SF with my GF for a couple of years in '74 or '75
Then back to Pacifica
Moved back to the City with my future wife in '81
Then we moved back to Pacifica in '83 and got married.
Still here.

Guess I need to broaden my horizons?

1956-1974 - Various small Kansas towns, growing up
1974-78 - Lawrence, Kansas (college)
1979-81 - Dallas, Texas
1981-83 - Los Angeles (Westwood, actually)
1983-86 - Mexico City, Mexico
1986-87 - Houston (the only place I've ever lived I didn't like)
1987-94 - Evanston, Illinois (Chicago suburb - graduate school + work in Chicago. Both my kids born here)
1994-99 - Lawrence, Kansas
1999-2001 - London, England (actually a suburb - Sunningdale)
2001 - present - Seattle, Washington.

Except as noted, I've enjoyed almost every place I've lived. I could stay in the Seattle area forever, but would happily move back to London or Mexico under the right conditions. Loved the Chicago area, but not sure I'm ready for Chicago winters again. I *really* enjoyed my time in LA, but it seems considerably more congested (and expensive!) today than it did then. Could also live in Kansas again if the weather didn't s*** most of the year.

Also, in 1979-81 and 1994-99 my jobs required a lot of international travel...I think I once figured I spent another two years abroad during this time, but only 2 to 4 weeks at a time.

In many cases, I got to know these cities very well by bicycling. Something about biking in new towns really allows you to learn them well. One of my guilty pleasures is riding into a major city on a Sunday morning when there is no traffic in the CBD and sneaking into parking garages on my bike...riding all the way up, all the way down. Used to do this a lot in Dallas because there were no hills to speak of there...

Hmmm, six months or more: Palmer, MA; Boston; Colombia, S.A.; Boston again; New Orleans; San Francisco; Grand Rapids; San Francisco again; Hilo, HI; Anchorage, AK; New Zealand (well I bicycled there for > 6 mos and I sure did live while I was doing it); Seattle; Bering Sea (on board ship 2.5 yrs); Newport, OR; Dutch Harbor, AK; Ormond Beach, FL; Dutch Harbor again; Ormond Beach again, now for 8 years taking care of mother. Deeply look forward to moving again! I loved all the places I've lived though Grand Rapids was not the right place for me when I was there, at least partly because of a long term love affair that went sad. Also, there was a three month stint in San Juan, PR that I call my Black Period since I was profoundly broke almost the entire time I was there (Tang & peanut butter broke).

PAlt, we're both native Chicagoans, I think. Where are you from and what high school did you go to?

Rogers Park, Ravenswood, and Senn High School, here, definitely a North Sider!

I was hoping we'd find an Immortal among us! Explains how someone my age or so can be such a strong rider (at least without highlighting my lard ass!!).

There can only be one!
