I'm sorry to have missed the 20 years. Distance issues.
After graduating from AC with Michael Wood, a.k.a. Deep Thought, and Tracie Hill, I moved back to Lubbock.

In Lubbock, I learned the value of a liberal arts degree in an agricultural town. In '96 moved to Austin (only learned today that Matt Hood was there at the same time...). Worked for AT&T Wireless. Got married. Entered computer industry. Got divorced. Stayed in computer industry. Remarried. Did almost 3 years of hard time in cell block D(ELL). Moved to Japan in 2006.

Currently, my wife Yoshiko and I, life in a suburb of Yokohama, Japan. It's called Idogaya (????). She works for the prefecture government as a Domestic Violence counselor. I have left the computer industry and work as a contract project manager.

Very different than Austin:
We do not have a car. We walk a lot.
Bus system is actually efficient.
Train system is wonderful... unless it's summer, 102 degrees, 85% humidity, and there are a hundred too many people than the train car was designed for).
Everything is recycled, even the plastic label on your plastic water bottle.
Apartment: 2 bedroom. 323 sq ft (including closet).
Yes, everyone asks if I had a horse, was a cowboy, or know George Bush (either).
Many think I am related to Bruce Willis. Yes, to most here, all Caucasians look alike.
