Where to begin?
After high school I spent 4 "wonderful" years in the Navy and after returning to Binghamton and spending a couple of years there decided to head elsewhere.

Don't have any other children of which I am aware. Went to graduate school and got an MA in Religious Studies (Buddhism---It's a long story--). I've been managing a 16 story condominium for the better part of the last 20 years and have given notice that I'm leaving at the end of 2009. So, at the beginning of 2010--Lord willing and the creek don't rise--I intend to backpack to the West coast, then down through the South West to Mexico where I plan to stretch out on the beach with a large quantity of Corona's and wait for the END.
