susandennis(For my birthday, I asked for Ask Me Anything Questions. I got so many wonderful ones. I'm answering them in entries from here until I get to the end. If you think of something you want to ask, just leave a comment or a note. Deadline is totally not a thing.)

sherlock999 asks:
4. Where did you grow up? How did you get to Seattle?
I grew up in North Carolina - specifically Winston-Salem. I was born in Brooklyn, NY and we lived in New Jersey and then Iowa and then Missouri and then North Carolina from the time I was in 1st grade until I went to college. I went to college near Pittsburgh, PA and then lived in Wheeling, WVa and then South Carolina and then North Carolina and then New York and Connecticut and Minnesota and then California. I was working for IBM and living in Morgan Hill, CA (near San Jose). I had moved wherever IBM had asked me too, joyfully but I was ready to move on. I had this great boss who said okdokey. Where do you want to go? I had two places on my list Seattle and Chicago. He said I had to pick one. I had been to Chicago but I’d never even seen Seattle so I picked Seattle. I had expected to move on, as usual, after a year or two but I fell madly in love with Seattle. That was 30 years ago.
