About Me

Father of three young men, each outstanding in their own way. Husband to a woman too beautiful, kind, and smart to have been married to me since 1974. Relatively healthy, but pestered by a benign brain tumor. Love to ride my road bike, frequently on a nearby 3 mile bike specific loop road. Non-practicing architect spending most of my work days selling 21st century software tools to my professional peers.

Interests:
Cycling, architecture, ham radio.

My wife and I don't get to dine out with other couples that often.

Actually, that's a huge understatement.  I can't recall the last time we went out to dinner here in town with another couple. 

So, it was a real treat to be invited to dine tonight at the Hyde Park Grill nearby on Westgate and 290.   We had met them at a recent MS (multiple sclerosis) support group.   

The poor waitress needed to keep coming back to the table simply to take our order as laughed and laughed as we compared notes.  We discovered that three of us had gone to Rice and all of us had spent time in southern New Jersey. 

He's a Yankee from upstate New York.  I grew up in Massachusetts, but my dad was from Rochester. 

Both of the wives have MS that has progressed to the point where keeping the jobs they loved is no longer possible.

  Since our new friends picked up the tab, we'll have an excuse to get together again soon.
