City:Monroe State/Prov.:WA Occupation:IT/Computer Support Marital Status:Single Again

From Brian:My life has been pretty boring. Started work the day after graduation intending to only do that long enough to get money for school...and here I still am almost 30 years later. So much for that plan, although I have had at least 4 different 'careers' in the same company.

My current outdoor/social activity is a 'sport' called Geocaching. It gets me outside and walking and I have a lot of good friends again.

Hope to see some of the old ones again soon.
