DZ:

My Glennie Buddy, Jeff and I don't see each other very often, but when we do, we just have so much fun... But not as funny as round. One memorable time was when I introduced him to couch jumping.

I worked with Mark and TJ at ComEd. They are shown here with a copy of one of our data migration specifications. Those were the days.

TJ decided to get in touch with his mountain man roots after retiring from the Navy. Here we see him with a turkey he prepared over an open fire. It was very tasty.

Tara and I first met through online chat. Now we just hang out occasionally, when she is not too busy for me. Tara loves to karaoke so much that we call it "taraoke". She is pretty good too, even though she tends to pick country music.

Renee looks so cute in the morning. This is an old picture, but it reminds me of her before she moved away. These days I see more of her son Owen than her, because she loves to send pictures.

Travis used to work at IRI with me. He escaped, but still works downtown. We hang out sometimes. This picture was taken at a restaurant in Chinatown. Despite the turtleneck, he did not recite any poetry that evening.

Cathy works at IRI. She used to report to me, but now she is in another group. This picture is from a party I had for Benia's birthday. Don't forget to ask her why she loves to mow the lawn. Here is a picture to give you a clue. That should be a good one to tell her daughter, Lauren.

Jason started at IRI about the same time as I did in 1998. We have been the "youguys" alliance ever since.

I met John back in my days at ComEd. We try to hang out once in a while, but he is one of those urbanites, so that makes it hard. He is seen here, making his move on Benia, at a little party he had at his place. Check out his site at www.liquidbrain.org

Kelly and I dated for several years. Both of us have taken different paths, but I still talk to her occasionally. She is married now.
I also wanted to include this funny picture from a camping trip where she shoved a stick through a sweet potato that was baking in the fire.

Dwain is Kelly's grandfather. So that is obviously how I met him. He is the guy who made my desk design into a reality. Until Kelly and I parted ways I got to have a "gramps" for a couple of years.

Marek was introduced to me by Benia. She calls him "Crash", so I tend to do the same. I see him a lot on the train to work. He is the guy I go to when I need a Polish translation.

This space for rent. Will you be my friend?
