How many places have you lived in your life?
- Tillicoultry, Scotland. Two houses: 91 Fir Park from birth to 1983, then Mains House (where my parents still live) until 1994.
- Edinburgh, Scotland. Heriot Watt University halls of residence '94-'95, a grotty flat in Murieston Crescent '95-'97 (which backed onto the Glasgow-Edinburgh train line, so we had trains going by the window every half-hour), a lovely flat on Elm Row, above the STV studios the summer of '97, and an even grottier flat on Montgomery Street '97-'98 (sharing with a revolting stoner grad student called Jim, whose friends were the biggest bunch of Yahs you've ever heard).
- London, England. September '98. A month working for Sapient in London, living in a lovely corporate apartment in the Docklands while I waited for my work visa to the States.
- Cambridge, MA. '98-'03. A smashing fourth-floor apartment on Brookline St in Cambridge, near Central Square, just up the road from the Middle East and TT The Bear's Place.
- Somerville, MA. 2003-present. Joy & I moved into an apartment near Ball Square in 2003, a few months before we got married. Then the following summer, we bought a house, and we've been here ever since.
