Oh my gosh, you've lived everywhere! Why so much travelling?

I'm sorry for not getting back to you, I meant to and have just been overwhelmed with the week. Are you still around? It was my Talon 2 that you were interested in, right? Because I bought the Mirage that I was going to sell for my uncle, he gave me such a good deal on it.

That guitar store in covina, was it the fret house? or the guitar center? and when were you there? I live over on the east side of covina....

Yeah, '87, 2nd grade and still in Oklahoma (but in Sherman every other weekend or so). If you get the chance to get back, the town has really started to take off, all kinds of new stuff, Dallas will eventually swallow Sherman...

yeah, the talon you have on the board in perris. i am just starting to realize what a small world skydivers live in. the question was, now that i see you and you see me, do you think that harness will fit without crampin the package? otherwise, it is exactly what i am looking for. any velcro?

Guitar Center was right there at covina and azusa, since has moved across the street, i worked there. fret house is downtown covina. also worked at gards music house which is closer to you.

my old man was a contractor and since we didn't own a house, we just followed him. i guess i got it into my blood and now have no problem picking up and moving, but have kinda settled down the last 10 years or so. it generally takes 4 or 5 years for me to get completely fed up with one place but this time i think i am about ready to go.
namaste, motherfucker.

Heidi.. it used to be Austin Skydiving Center, now Texas Skydiving Center in Lexington.

I've lived in:
Omaha, NE
Great Gidding, UK
Brampton, UK
Poquoson, VA
Arlington, TX
Fort Worth, TX
New Braunfels, TX
Austin, TX
Nashville, TN
Atlanta, GA

I consider Arlington, TX my home town, but only because thats where my grandmother lives and her house is the only house I've known my whole life. And I guess I spent the longest amount of time in Arlington.

I've moved around quite extensively . . . :D Yeah, right.

I was born in Marietta, GA.
At 3 years old, my parents moved to Port Charlotte, FL.
At 4, we moved back to Marietta.
Lived there until college - moved to Athens, GA.
Lived in Athens until I graduated - moved back to Marietta.
And then I moved to Decatur, GA, where I live now. :D

So, Marietta, GA; Port Charlotte, FL; Athens, GA; and Decatur, GA. I'm quite the mover and shaker. :D

The obligatory smartass answer is that I have I have lived (as opposed to *died*) every place I've been.

Beyond that, I have resided in:

Myrtle Beach, SC;
Badhersfeld (sp?), Germany;
Kassel, Germany;
Prum, Germany;
Olathe, KS;
Bellfountain, OH;
Alexandria, LA;
Austin, TX;
Johnson City, NY;
Houston, TX

Not a whole lot of places, but I've met so damn many interesting people that I'm more than ok with it.
