A brief biography of Bill G-A

In life, as in comedy, timing is everything.

Due to overwhelming public demand I have decided to include a photo of yours truly on this page.
Oh, hell... who am I kidding? I got one request... but because of who it was that asked, one was enough for me.

My name is Bill. I was born on a sunny August 23rd in 1951 in San Diego, California, the second of three children born to Jack and Caroline, a Chief Radioman in the U.S. Navy and his Irish war-bride.

A lifetime resident of America's Finest City, I grew up within walking distance of Balboa Park, with it's assortment of museums, recreation facilities, and of course, the world-famous San Diego Zoo.

My grade-school years were spent at Thomas Jefferson Elementary, Alice Birney Elementary, Theodore Roosevelt Jr. High, and San Diego High School. My favorite classes were those in the sciences, to a lesser degree, math, and, somewhat surprisingly, the school choir. My proudest moment from my school years was when, in spite of possessing an overwhelming lack of talent and never quite mastering the ability to read music, I was selected by the choir director my Senior year to be a member of the Madrigal Singers -- a hand-picked, and very prestigious group that performed all over the city. What an unexpected prize that was!

I received (appropriately) a B.S. degree in Information Systems from San Diego State University in 1973.

My hobbies and interests include photography, travel, sports (mostly as a spectator these days), bridge, chess, theater, and of course, computers.

Active in softball and racquetball prior to "retirement" due to a knee injury and broken arm, most of my sporting activity now consists of viewing from the stands or on TV. I enjoy watching just about all sports, but especially baseball and football.

I love to travel, and since I am a serious photography hobbyist, one of my goals is to develop an online gallery of my travel photos to share with other enthusiasts on the Web.

Some personal information...

I am 52 years old (In case you didn't bother to do the math above), single, and heterosexual. (For those of you in Rio Linda, that means I like girls) A bit of a late bloomer socially, due to shyness and becoming something of a workaholic to support my family after my father died, I didn't have much of a life outside the workplace until I was well into my 30's. I'm finding that most of the women in my age range are either married, engaged, living with someone, divorced and still pissed off at men, or established in careers and enjoy being independent. I seem to be attracted to strong, intelligent, independent women, but strong, intelligent, independent women don't necessarily want a serious committed relationship... it would rob them of their independence. Catch-22.
Patience does pay off occasionally, though, as I'm currently dating a lovely lady. Guess I can't complain too much! :o)

It was nice to meet you! Please sign my guestbook so I will have a record of your visit.
