i wouldn't worry. he's an incorrigible skirt-chaser (and scarf-chaser, and suspender chaser, and...) but deep down he's a gentleman. also, despite appearances, he's rather more innocent than you might think.

Ricky, is there anything you have not done? You have had so many world experiences.

I find it interesting the number of people who don't even know the term, "long pig" or "long pork".

Well the car he was driving didn't look very innocent. And that playsock tie did not suit him.

Why, thank you, DG!! That was sweet of you.

There are very few experiences that I have not had. My aunts and uncles on my mother's side are an eclectic bunch with a lot of extremely famous friends, I got "passed around" quite a bit when I was very young (because my mother had what amounted to a nervous breakdown when my father left us).

I've traveled extensively, and met a lot of interesting people. I love (love!!) learning about new cultures.

UCLA was an amazing university experience for me. Especially the departments that started with "A" .... Art, Anthropology and Astronomy were some of my favorite courses.

(Side story ... I took a graduate seminar from Dr. Birdsell in Physical Anthropology. Half way through the course, he came up to me and said "It's funny, I keep flashing back to seeing your face in my Anthro 11 course." I said, "Yes, I took that two years ago." His reply was "That's impossible! That's a course for non-majors." I told him that I was a Chemistry major, but that I had taken Anthro 1a and 1b - for majors - after Anthro 11 because I wanted to take the upper division courses, especially his seminar.
He then said "There's a problem for me. You should not have been able to take any of the courses for majors as a non-major. Because you are taking a spot that a major might need. However, how can I possibly report you and have you removed from the class when you are my best student?" And, he didn't report me ... and I kept taking his courses and working with him - as a volunteer TA.)

I've always been one for doing something different from everyone else. Even when that meant they were rewarded and I was not. Rewards, monetary or otherwise, are not something that has ever interested me.

I'm the sort of person who goes on vacation, meets the locals, decides that it would be fun to live there, gets a job there, goes "home", quits the old job and moves. All in the span of two weeks. Sometimes less.

I don't have much in the way of "job snobbery." If I can make a living wage doing it, then that's ok by me. Having said that, now that I've got so many cats (and the doggies), I can no longer make a living wage scooping ice cream .... but dammit, I did like that job, and was very good at it.

It's just the way I am. It drives some people (and most of my family) quite mad. They would have much preferred that I settle down, have some children, and stay (more or less) in one place.
