Bob's Story

So, I guess I'm a late bloomer. I didn't get married until I was 41 and I didn't change a diaper until I was almost 44. Now, at almost 53, I have two kids, one in third grade and one in kindergarten. Some of you probably have grandchildren older than that. They're both boys, named Grant and Logan, and yes, they are named after streets in Denver, sort of. Also, when we were graduating high school, my wife was finishing up the fourth grade. Hmmm. But having a young wife and young kids must keep me young, too. It's hard to believe, I know, but according to my email inbox, large numbers of young women in my area are eager to meet me, and some of them want to give me free stuff. After TJ I lived in Boulder for 11 years, then I had a little duplex in the Washington Park neighborhood, which now is probably worth five times what I sold it for. In 1991 I moved to Seattle and I have lived here since. Seattle is a great city and there's not too much culture shock once you get over the climate. Denver...Expand for more
and Seattle are cities of comparable size, and the people are kinda the same: friendly and outdoorsy, so it's pretty easy to get used to. I live about a quarter mile up the hill from a nice sandy beach on Puget Sound, and my boys always enjoy hiking down to the beach with me to look for crabs under the rocks. I'm a patent lawyer, working on patent licensing and litigation matters all over the country, and I've recently been doing quite a bit of international work as well. I spent the past four months in Japan, and I'll be going back there once a month for the next few months. I know only a little Japanese, but it's enough to order beer and a bowl of noodles, so I get by just fine. My kids are so young I can't imagine retiring any time soon, so I'll just keep doing the crossword puzzle and hope that keeps senility at bay. I'm going to try to make it down to Denver for the reunion this summer, so I hope I'll see some of you there. Drop me a line if you have a chance: carlson at cojk dot com. Bob
