Conceived a little after lunchtime, on the 22nd day of the 7th month....our hero was born. I answer to the name George for intelligence; Gigi, to be cute, or just plain George to be myself.

I swear -- by my life and my love of it -- that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine. I will get my place in this earth even if it means climbing a glass mountain....I'll do it and I will be on top!
