How many houses have you lived in? How is where you live now different from where you grew up?

I don't know where to begin as I grew up as a Military brat.  How about chronologically.  I believe I lived in one place in my hometown my first 18 months, then moved to Germany for a total of four years.  Mannheim, Heidelburg and Bremerhaven, government quarters of course.  When I was 5, we moved to Oakland California, where I remember living in an apartment complex.  First grade, we moved to Carson City, lived in an apartment for a while.  Spent part of 2nd grade still in Carson City, but in a house.  Moved to Giessen Germany in 2nd grade.  Lived in Marshall Housing area through 5th grade.  Moved to Yuma Arizona and spent the remainder of 5th grade at Palmcroft Elementary school, living in a snow-bird trailer park.  6th grade, we moved on base (Yuma Proving Ground) and I spent 6th grade at M.E. Post in Yuma.  Moved to Naples Italy and spent 7th, 8th and 9th grade, living in US Government leased 12 story towers in a resort about 30 miles north of Naples (200 yards off the beach of the Mediterranean).  1984, came back to the US to Radcliff Kentucky and spent 10th grade at North Hardin High School, lived in a house a few miles from the school in Radcliff.  Following my sophomore year, we moved onto base and lived in government quarters at Fort Knox.  Spent 11th and half of 12th grade there.  Moved to Yokosuka Japan middle of 12th grade and lived in Negishi heights.  Moved to San Francisco April of senior year in HS and lived on base at the Presidio.  College lived in three different dorms at two different schools.  Lived in a rental house with 7 other guys the summer I got married.  Lived in married housing in college.  Then after graduating from college, lived in trashy apartment complex for 3.5 years.  Moved into our current house December 1996 and have been in it ever since.

Why do you think it is some people don't get along with you?

I think most everyone gets along with me.  The only thing closest to it would probably be some of our more arrogant "genius" contractors at work that expect you to figure shit out for them and for you to do their job for them.

What have you tried in life that you just weren't very good at?

Juggling.  Hula Hooping

It'd have to be when I was watching "The Office" and Dwight Schrute crashed his Firebird into a pole and got a concussion then puked all over his car, then got back into it to rush to the hospital to rescue Michael Scott after burning his foot on his George Foreman Grill.
