Poliakon
I emerged into air breathing ecstasy on Joseph's Seal Date in the shadow of Fermi's favorite squash court in my Uncle Popeye's Home State, Chicago USA. Today, I am Techno-Geek-O'Leisure, lover of my simply amazing, beautiful & elegant Bride, fine automobiles, and Dave Brubeck Jazz as I live La Vida Loca in the Principaute de Poliakonia. Like my Uncle Popeye, I love spinach and I y'am whatz I y'am, thatz all thatz I y'am. I was reared in the rolling prairie, oak woodland and quaking tamarack bog marshlands of the Fox Chain O’Lakes bedroom ‘burbs formed by the southernmost reaches of the recessional moraines of the Delavan lobe of the Lake Michigan Glacier in the Kettle Moraine Complex, and the southwestern shore of Lake Michigan. During my formative years, I foraged in the north suburban oak forested, prairieland bedroom communities of Chicagoland. In between school recesses, I was educated by ruler-wielding Holy Franciscan Sisters of Blessed Kunegunda as I had Fun With Dick And Jane And Saw Spot Run. Less useful education followed that turned me into an INFO-TECH/COMM-ELEX/INTEL Systems and Organizational Development Professional. I joined the Navy, got E-EDUKATED, saw the world, and fought the Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) & Information Cold War from above, on and below the oceans until Gorbie blinked first, and Uncle Ronnie and I finally won it. I founded and ran a pseudodot.com/datdidntbomb.html, then early retired in Y2K to bubbly Dom Perignon and the sound crystal toasts as the market peaked, and confetti was still settling. I then commenced Livin’ La Vida Loca as a Techno-Geek-O'Leizr Emeritus in the Principaute d'Poliakonia, el paraíso que es la Florida.
