Linjeakel stole my line - Hello from a Brand New Mod. The Power hasn't gone to be head yet .... In the real world I'm a naturalized Texan who grew up in the Midwestern US and emigrated at 18 to go to college in Dallas and just never bothered to leave. I work for a Swedish Telecom Company (there are so many to choose from) as a software application specialist. When I'm not traveling with my job, I live in a nice quiet neighborhood in a 60's ranch style home built the same year I was with my partner of 23 years and our puppy. I'm really looking forward to taking on the Book Klubs and re-invigorating them. There is so much fun to be had reading and discussing books - how can I turn down the opportunity?  |

Congratulations on the new mod position, Geoffrey! I'm sure you'll do a super job.
Since you brought it up: I'm originally from Dallas, although I relocated to FL with hubby and kids about 12 years ago. I miss it! Did you go to SMU?

No, I went to the University of Dallas over in Irving. A nice little Catholic School overlooking Las Colinas .... But I spent a lot of time in the bowels of the SMU library doing research. I was an English Major and their library was so much more extensive than ours .... |

Here's your new super-hero moderator outfit. I thought the yellow stripe went well with your complexion. What color do you think your cape should be, and do you want a mask, or just stay with the Superman sans mask look?  I just know there are better things I should be doing with my time, but, well....  |
