King Fool I still have the original cape designed by Greg Leas. Why? I have no idea... but I am somehow glad and always chuckle when I see it in my archives

Too many to mention - but as wild and dysfunctional as we all (most of us) were, I am proud to say that we all did alright and that we have kept in touch on many levels.

The impersonation concert: I remember things got a little kooky that night

I am thankfully busy consulting, but honestly looking for a FT gig for the first time in 20+ years

Hawaii is pretty awesome, I was married on Fleming Beach, Maui.

Melissa and I would like to go to Fiji, Bora Bora, Palau - really remote islands.

Chicago 84-99, Boston 99-06, Miami 06-present
Lucky to have traveled all over incl. Japan, Hawaii, Monaco, France, Italy, Spain, Ger, UK, Taiwan, China, Singapore, Malaysia, HK, Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, Guat.,Carrib, Cuba etc. Most of the travel was work related that I would extend for personal pleasure.

All outdoor activities, still bike and blade amap. Play my neighbors in tennis and swim a lot. No team sports for me since Boston. We travel amap, most recently Harbour Island in March.
Still occasionally scare people with the guitar.
Attend as many sporting events as possible, and lately its baseball.
We also have friends with boats so we do the offshore fishing and picnic thing.
I DO NOT GOLF very often here in MIA and that's amazing but true! Mostly when guests are in town

Locally Camillus House -but not currently doing any regular volunteering....shame on me!
I do attend baseball games with two elderly folks 85 and 83. We have a gas and I really learn and bounce stuff off of them. Retired corporate attorneys...

Three Classics:
First night with a car-down to Vilas Park- backed the mustang into Mike Palms car and got hosed with a fire extinguisher by Bob Harty.
Pete Cherek left two Gyros in his glove box..... funkified his car forever

Since?
