Originally from Brooklyn, New York (think Saturday Night Fever neighborhood - one of my great uncles actually worked in the club in the movie). Came to the Boston area for college. Moved away for a year after graduating. Came back and have been here ever since. After 22+ years of marriage, smozz (smozz (at) alum.bu.edu) and I have split up and are now divorced. No kids. Currently two cats have me - Arthur and Merlin who were named independently by others. I've been working and traveling the world off and on (it's a long story) for over 30 years at Stratus Technologies and Stratus Customers as a senior software support person. (My "current" resume is linked from my home page.)
