Alex's Story
What's been up? Well, I no longer live in Japan... I got out of the Navy in 1999 and started working at Newport News Shipbuilding (now part of Northrop Grumman). Been working on design of reactor plant for new carrier class (turns out Nimitz carriers are too small now).
Skiing is not nearly as good out here in flatland, but it is nice to go to the beach once in a while. Nothing on the Appalachian Trail is as tough as the Devil's staircase in Teton national park (did that last summer), but it is still pretty good for backpacking.
Finally started graduate school after an eighteen-year sabatical... gave up reading after the Navy's nuclear power school :) I will have a masters in Engineering Management if I ...Expand for more
don't die from boredom.
Speaking of death, found out last week that I'm allergic to about everything. Had to get sinus surgery a few months ago due to all the allergies I didn't know about. About killed me - surgery exposed an artery. Ended up getting 4 units of blood before they decided to go back in to fix it. Plus a few days in the hospital - no fun.
Got a couple big trips this year - going to San Francisco in April for my son's band trip. He is a musical prodigy (didn't get it from me), and his music school will be competing then. After that, he and I are spending two weeks in Maine this summer canoeing to Canada. Wahoo!
Anyway, life is pretty good in Hampton Roads: Concerts, beer festivals, beach...
