I loved living in Berkeley and Oakland, and I never thought I move back to San Jose, but my wife's family and my family all live here. So I got a job with the San Jose Post Office, and after 26 years, I retired at age 50. [Update: moved to Gilroy on 10/15/2008].
Every once in awhile you may see me jogging. It is a far cry from the 10 to 20 miles a day I used to do in high school, but I am a lot older and wiser now.
