[My Picture w/bird] This is me in a shot taken at LunaCon after the masquerade.

"Dead Parrot's Party."

Short History: I lived in and around Baltimore, MD for about 40 million years.
In 1994, I drove my [Saturn] up to the colder clime following my heart, and decided to stay for a while in Londonderry, New Hampshire. I discovered I really like living in a place where it snows a lot....
In 1996, I followed my new job with [SSDS Logo] (Web site no longer available, company gone...) to Bloomfield, New Jersey.
In 1997, I moved back to the Baltimore Area for a new job with [CSC Logo].

What do I do in my "spare" time? I enjoy reading and watching Science Fiction or any one of the CSI or Law and Order variants when I have the time.

I also enjoy attending and running Science Fiction Conventions and sometimes playing games on my computer. What do I play? I'm glad you asked. I used to like such games as DOOM, War Craft, Shanghai, and Welltris. I don't get to play much other than a quick game of Puerto Rico these days or Tetris, although I used to play UnReal Tournament a lot.

When I do get a chance to get together with friends, I like to play card games like:
Social Class ,
the official game of BSFS
[Guillotine]
[Munchkin]
<<<=== I like to play Munchkin sometimes.
spaces I also like to play Chez Geek, too!===>>>
[Robo Rally]
When I get a chance, I like to play Robo Rally, it's a lot of fun, but sometimes finding a group to play it with is not as easy as I'd like!!!

Hint, Hint!!

My complete set (with all of the expansions) got stolen!
Boo Hoo!!!
[Chez Geek]
[Rio Grande Games]
Since I have become involved with the Games Club of Maryland, I have
become aware of a gaming company by the name of Rio Grande Games:

These games are fun to play, and I welcome an opportunity to play any of these.
