About Jim:
What’s your sign, babee?
Born with Sun in Pisces, Moon in Scorpio, Scorpio ascendant. (Taught myself how to cast Astrological charts when I was a teenager because my mom’s math sucked and she needed it done.) I was also nearly eleven pounds when I was born (02/19/1957) at Good Samaritan Hospital and had to be C-sectioned out. Trivia point: my mom’s regular gynecologist was too drunk to handle it, and his partner did the job. Baptised about a month later as an Episcopalian.
Your age, weight and marital status, pliz.
Fifty-one, too damn much and very married with child. Cute child, nice wife. Brown fur, beard with a slight pepper/salt of grey. Six foot five. Big. Bearlike.
What’s your ethnic background?
Mostly German/Dutch, with dollops of English, Scottish, French and some Cherokee. The Cherokee was a recent discovery, and the percentage is very small. So I don’t seriously claim it. It makes me a closer relation to my Chinese daughter than my wife - who is 100% Northern European. That is, if you want to go back 30,000 years or so…
If you catch me back in my home territory, I may have a mild accent that sounds twangy and southern countrified. It’s the native accent around Dayton, or was when I was growing up. I got rid of it in college, but it sometimes re-shows when I hear similar accents.
