Lived in Boston area for 48 out of 62 years. Moved from Boston to s/w CT, living there for 4 years. After a layoff from hi-tech, moved to Albany, NY around Dec '02. Unluckily for me it was their snowiest winter in 50 years.
[Edit 12/03/08]: Moved on 7/31/08 to newly rented, 6-acre 'farm' and was caretaker to friend's farm and 3 rescued Border Collies. Eventually adopted one of their dogs (Brady) myself. My friends added another rescue BC (which I fostered) from that same rescue farm. She eventually integrated with their BC pack and she went to live with the other three.
{Edit: as of 3/24/10} Moved to Sarasota-Bradenton area in Florida. Semi-retired but trying to establish my home-based photography biz here. Replaced my old computer BEFORE it totally died with snazzy new IBM Lenovo desktop with latest Win 7 OS and latest version of Adobe Photoshop plus MS Publisher software. Hopefully, all this can help establish myself professionally as a writer/photog. Oh, baby! At least, I'm TRYING to make sincere efforts but economy is in a shambles for startups.
My website reflects my work (career) and art (passion). A new link for my photo webpage will be coming very soon.
Firstly, I enjoy humor, civilized debate with informed, rational people, good wine and then lastly good desserts such as butterscotch sundaes like those from (now defunct) Bailey's in Harvard Sq., Cambridge, Mass.
In my leisure you might find me partaking of good food, wine (mostly red) and good conversation. That avatar is a recent image taken of me at a beer tasting event early in 2012.

Mon 17 Jun, 2013 04:26 pm - I'm in the thunder capital (so FL). We hear boomers regularly. Luckily, they pass quickly. My dog, Brady, is thunder-phobic and needs a drool bucket when they're popping. (view)
