San Francisco Bay Area -- Pleasant Hill (East Bay/Diablo Valley) to be exact. Born in Germany. English was my fifth language (learn 'em, move, forget 'em, learn the next). Can pick them back up if I'm in a country for more than 3 weeks, but otherwise, it's English (well, American) and German today.
Have traveled most of my life, so my stock response to most people is my mother with a little bit of help from my father. Military/embassy brats understand the response immediately. Others think I'm being a wise guy.
