Cary's Story
Life
Currently a software engineer, living in Draper, working in Salt Lake, a fly fishing bum. On the move career-wise, I also have my Realtor's license and have been doing some landlording. Hey, if you need to sell, I'm your guy! Business is my new frontier. Had some fun professionally during the DotCom bust wherein I was laid off 3 times in 3 years (a personal record). Not a problem though. Lessor people would have panicked. What, me worry? I actually spent a year commuting to Boston to work for ATI doing software for graphics cards used by anti-social teenage boys, like mine. This year I have been doing 3D graphics for airplane cockpits, displaying terraine images in foggy weather to keep pilots from flying into mountains. It's cool technology -- a lot of fun just when I was trying to leave high tech.
Mostly we have lived in Kaysville. Last year we moved to horse property in Draper to support my wife's mid-life crisis. Manuer Are Us! Come on by, we'll load you up! Isn't it funny how women hate gross things, funny smells, icky bugs, slobber, bad breath, and yet they love horses, the best of whom totally emboddy all of the above? For years my wife complained that I snored, but now we have two English Mastiff dogs, 180 pounds, that both snore like freight trains. Yes, she insists that they share the bedroom with us. I keep a flash light by the bed so I don't trip over them in the dark. Not to worry, I figure between the dogs and the horse I have a two-year supply.
Music has been a big part of my life too. I got a very strong minor in music at the Y. For many...Expand for more
years I played in a garage band and have a basement full of PA gear, guitars, and old keyboards. For a few years I was the Primary Chorister at church. The kids and I really rocked out in sharing time. The primary president was a very forgiving saintly woman.
Lately I've been impressed, I'm not sure with what, but then I became totally annoyed with email from this classmates website. While avoiding responsible behavior required elsewhere, I decided to check it out and discovered that Arlene Arnold had been on and scanned my profile. Amazing! I haven't thought of Arlene since about 1975. Somebody should study my brain and figure out how my Arlene Arnold brain cells could still be aligned after 35 years.
So, I made an executive decision to explore all of those old brain cells. In a unilateral move unparalleled in a scattered life, I decided to start a reunion. But, being too cheap to go to a real reunion, I decided to have a virtual one. You're all invited. I set it up for the Friday evening after Thanksgiving, 2007. However, having made the decision, I have no idea how to proceed. I bow to your collective ideas. Give me a buzz, 801-208-9469, or drop an email, cary(at)ashbysPlace(dot)com. We'll make it happen.
