I have a life outside of work too: I enjoy hiking, mountaineering, backcountry
skiing, bicycling, astronomy, soccer refereeing. Some day I will get to do
these things again but right now my main hobby is keeping my children alive.
Fortunately they're alot of fun. Recently went sent
our oldest son, Karl, off to school. It was a big day
for all of us.
Btw, we use to live in the little farming community of Lemitar NM. Here are some
pictures of the former Casa de Young. We now live
in Socorro on "Tech Hill" with a fine view of Socorro's new Walmart. We recently
purchased a CoMotion Periscope 700 tandem from
Spoke-n-Word Cycles.
