Short Bio
After I left Wang after 10 years I went to Lotus for 2 1/2 and now I am at Progress Software. It will be almost 10 years there as well!! I guess I don't like change. However, at the moment I am taking a 4 month leave of absence to "chill out" and maybe figure out what I might want to do for the next 10 years. It's pretty strange so far not going to work. Though I've been keeping busy, I feel a little lost. At the moment I am scheduled to return to Progress, but we'll see. Anyone have a really interesting job that they want to share with me? After a while all those techy topics start to sound the same. I would like to get back some enthusiasm and drive to learn new things.I am still dancing (folk, contra, swing, etc. for those who don't know) but not nearly as much as I used to. I also learned how to play the fiddle. It's been 10 years doing that and though I've slowed way down on my practicing, I still enjoy it.
I'm still not married and have no children - both of which are a good thing for me!
