Life
It's been an exciting time, whether up or down. Here's the plot summary, from then to now: // 71-75 U of Penn, majoring in drug experimentation, I mean Systems Study // 75-77 Columbia Engineering - continuing as before // 77-79 Daytop Village, drug rehab, graduated, that was hard //
79-82 New York, Systems analyst at McGraw-Hill, Royal Insurance, single in NY // 82-84 New York, Systems sales various co.s, married, Brooklyn Heights actually // 84 Moved to LA, baby, started software company. Did standup comedy for awhile, won an Ace (cable tv) award, but software paid more. //
// 89 Bigshot in software. Look at me, ma, I'm on top of the world! //
// 91 Oops - lost it all. Back to nothing again. Divorced. Bummer. No kids, though. // 92 Started over. Well, I always liked creating from scratch... // 92-95 Traveled the world writing software. Amsterdam, Milan, Paris, New Delhi, Singapore, Seoul, HK, New York...Expand for more

// 95-96 Project in Paris, met wife. Ah, those were the days. Cafe's, romance, wine, and Paris // 97 Dad died. After a long struggle, it was for the best. But hard to accept... // 98 Married. And in 2009, it's still great! //

// 2004 Started building an IT Department & Software Dev team from scratch at a hedge fund. Wild ride for 5 years.. in 2009, back on the street, doing a little R&R before getting back on the rollercoaster... // 2006, had one of those medical things that remind you that you won't be around forever, but at this point in 2009 there's nothing to stop me from being around til 2030 or 2050... // Who knows what new adventures await... //
Hope to see y'all at the re-u.
