On my 65th birthday I drove to Rockville, MD and realized a life dream to own a Porsche Carrera 4. Slightly used it now has 35,000 miles on it. (Photo taken summer 2009 East Longmeadow, MA)

Heeding Roy Oswald's solemn advice to develop an avocation unrelated to our professional life I took up woodworking in 2001 in anticipation of retirement. I started with the Shopsmith all-in-one tool which has served me very well. Here it is in bandsaw mode.

Now in drill mode.

Later I added the 3 hp 220v Shop Fox table saw which is a dream to use.

Here we are in Maine in July 2009

Our pets, Rachel (Weimaraner) and Madonna (Kittykat) share the house with us.
