Places I've been

I spent all of my childhood growing up in Bloomington, Indiana. (If you've ever seen Breaking Away then you know a whole lot about my childhood.) Attended college at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana before moving out to the Boston area. I've lived in or near Boston ever since.

I've traveled to nearly every state east of the Mississippi, and a handful to the west as well. I've also visited Tijuana, Mexico, a couple of Canadian provinces, a smattering of countries in Europe; Puerto Rico, Anguilla, and the U.S. and British Virgin Islands.

Education

• Purdue University, B.S. Electrical Engineering - 1974 to 1979

More about me

I consider myself a "blue state" liberal, a techie, and a humanist. I dig computers and all things high-tech. I also like to write fiction and short stories and I sing. Some times, I don't act my age.

I'm here to meet new friends and share with the community.
