The proud father of identical twin girls and a son, after my marriage unraveled I traveled. I migrated from Philadelphia to San Jose where I lived and worked in California for three years.  My wedding ring leapt off the Golden Gate Bridge.  Workwise, the West is less demanding and less permissive while the East is more demanding but more permissive.  The rats are larger in the East Coast rat race but the traffic is worse in the West Coast.  After that I lived with my girlfriend in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and learned about the Midwest and what cold really is.  A -28 windchill is something you and the dog never forget.  Then I moved back to California, Southern this time where I lived and worked in Los Angeles.  When the hills are on fire the sun turns bloddy red.  Friday's rush hour begins Thursday at noon.  I never understood the line in the Eagles song "You can check out but you can never leave" until I lived there.  Like everywhere else, good and bad prevail but freedom and respect for fellow man is numero uno.  After that I lived in Scottsdale, Arizona where they really do have an egg frying contest on the pavement each year.  And it's not always a dry heat, either.  They do have have rain and although infrequently, it immediately turns to steam when it hits the pavements producing humidity that could stop a herd of charging rhino dead in there tracks.  Now I'm in Atlanta, Georgia enjoying the colorful cross-section of humanity and the friendly people.  I think the movie Deliverance kind of recked things down here, unfortunately.  Georgians are among the friendliest creatures on the planet.

I agree with Mark Twain's philosophy that if humor has one sole purpose it's to expose and destroy fake, fraud and superstition through laughter, "the greatest weapon known by mankind."
