Born in Swinton, Lancashire. Dragged to the United States at a young age (10 months!). Started off in Norwalk, California. Up to San Jose, California by age 11. Shook the adobe off my heels around age 20 for the slightly greener hills of Santa Rosa, California.

After the week when the temperature NEVER got below 100 degrees Fahrenheit, I decided it was time to move on. Have lived in Puget Sound since 1980.

Quiz told me I was from the Northeast.

Could it be the British parents, who influenced my speech patterns until I started attending school?
