>I spent my first 9 years in College Station (twin city to Bryan) and my college years there as well. The between years were in Brenham which is about 45 miles south of there.

My grandfather worked at A&M, which is why my father and his siblings were raised in Bryan. When my father was 16, they moved to DC.

My father did a post-doc at M. D. Anderson, which is why I was born in Houston.
