Um, no, never realized I was half-white before.: -) I'm male, and I managed to figure out we actually have met a few times in person; back when I was last resident in Boston in '92-96 vis a vis the SIPB/AG circles and when I ran into our host here and company, including you, at the SW: Episode 1 showing at Fresh Pond. chesyre confirmed my guess on your id.
Was actually in Charlotte for part of the day back at Xmas prior to my flight back to CA from visiting family. If you enjoyed Chicago and Boston, I suspect you're finding Charlotte wanting. It's certainly grown greatly since I lived there in '64-'72 as a kid, but it's been mostly middle management banker types and hasn't had time relative to its growth to develop the sorts of things and areas that make large urban areas interesting, at least to me.
Btw, ironically, my father died of cancer. Doesn't seem to be a strong genetic disposition though, as he's the only one on either side to have had it to my knowledge.
