Lived in Boston area for 48 out of 69 years. In the past, I was employed in high-tech, now retired

Moved in 1999 from Boston area to s/w CT, living there for 4 years. After a layoff from hi-tech in ‘02, moved to Albany, NY around Dec '02. Unluckily for me it was their snowiest winter in 50 years.

{Edit: As of 9/16}: Moved to our new home in Sarasota with my significant other and my 8-yr-old mini French Poodle Jellybean. Living the dream here in FL and upstate NY as a snowbird, splitting time at our lakeside home in mid-Hudson valley.

{Edit: as of 3/24/10} Moved as a solo act to Sarasota-Bradenton area in Florida. Semi-retired but trying to establish my home-based photography biz here. Replaced my computer with an iMac and the latest version of Adobe Photoshop.
My website is under construction and will reflect my work (career) and art (passion).

[Edit 12/03/08]: Moved on 7/31/08 to Albany NY suburban at a new 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.

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 friend's in 2014.
