Life Still living in the Seattle area with my wife Tris (we met at FSU), and our son Jeffrey. Tris came out here to get her Ph.D. in Chemistry and I came along to see what the Northwest was really like. I wound up working at Microsoft and I'm still there and enjoying it. More frequent updates and photos are on facebook. I'm definitely the slacker in the family. Tris is now a practicing pharmacistand a City Council member in Bothell. Jeffrey is in second grade. Jeepers, some of ya'll have kids old enough to be Jeffrey's teacher! When schools out, we spend our free time in the mountains; hiking, biking and snowboarding. Jeffrey is now able to keep up on the blue runs. I always felt bad about leaving him so far behind - but hey, no friends on powder days If you haven't ever been out to Seattle and the Northwest, it's well worth the price of the ticket.

People seem to hibernate through the drizzly winter (unless they ski) and so when the summer kicks in it's like seeing the desert in bloom. festivals going on continuously. The Freemont Solstice parade and festival is by far the best one to get a feel for open attitudes of Seattle. If you have a bike and some body paint, you can join in! So if you like fine beer, fun times, awesome music and mountains, don't miss it. And, give us a call (we're in the phonebook) when you come out. We're always ready to take a break, sit and have a pint. Life in the northwest is great - I miss the beaches and the cool breeze off the water on a hot summer night, but love the mountains. High School Best part of high school was being on Yearbook. Being part of creating something was great. My favorite class was probably physics with Mr. Pullin. Since graduation, I still keep in touch with Norman Hullinger and Dean Birch, but that's about all. Favorite weekend activity was chilling at Sand Key with friends, frisbees and ... College Deviney - great, close to everything. Salley - sucked, almost ended my college experience. Four Seasons - stagger home from pour pauls in under 3 minutes. Park Point - excellent pre game. Tallahassee Village - cookouts with the neighbors. The Village - what a dive, but cheap. Pour Pauls - aaahhh the wheel and the darts the smell of cigarettes still makes me think of it. Freds - Jet fuel of course, that and the truck pulls in the parking lot. The Phyrst - bladder busts were the best. Bullwinkles - no cover and goo...Expand for more
