Life...
My Wife...(of 33 years on June 20th, 2008!)
Debbie, was a couple years behind me in HS (she graduated 1975). We knew each other through the drama classes and productions. We 're-met' on Sept. 15, 1974, when she drove past - and we met with a wonderful, huge hug - and we've been 'in love' since then.
We still love to flirt after 30+ years married!
She had TWO hip-replacement surgeries in 2004 (both 'minimally-invasive' - right, Feb 25th; left, Dec 20th) and is doing fine, back to more flexibility and activity than before.

Recent...
Late July, Debbie and I checked a couple things off our personal "bucket lists" -
* going on a cruise.
* visiting Alaska (Ketchekan, Juneau, Skagway).
* visiting British Columbia (Victoria).
...and had a wonderful "escape" time (we didn't want to get off that boat upon its return to SF! and were willing to turn back around to enjoy the area).
My Pets...
one smaller, older grey short-hair 'Smokey' cat, who completely OWNS us.
My Kids...
two sons, 23 and 18. Oldest, going to San Diego State Univ., ; youngest, finishing HS.
My Job...
Commercial/industrial electrician & job foreman, usually in San Jose.
