(24,931 posts)My real name is Tom. I grew up and was raised in Minneapolis, MN and have lived here since 1991, after living away since 1983. I went away to college in Upstate NY (Hobart College) and have a B.A. in East Asian Studies.
I've lived in Geneva, NY, Beijing, PRC, Taipei, Taiwan, ROC and Bangor, Wales.
I was married once to a woman from Taiwan for several years. We spoke Mandarin at home.
I live with my girlfriend of 8 years and our little Chug (chihuahua/pug) named Audrey.
I love music of all sorts, except newer country.
I started playing bass about a year ago and am now in a band (shameless promotion here -> google Whiskey Twin Facebook). We just played our first paying gig and earned $45.
I love to travel.
I love to cook.
I consider myself a large L liberal with socialist tendencies.
