CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy New York city

ABOUT ME

Despite what the 'last log in ' says I am not in Houston, but in Sydney, Australia. I have tried to get this changed, but no success.

I am a retired lawyer, and spend most of my time now volunteering at a homeless men's hostel in Sydney.

I am a baseball (Red Sox) and cricket tragic, and have a yearning to spend as much time in New York as possible.

I am married, and my wife Ardsley runs her own business designing and developing databases; she also loves New York, but does not have as much free time as I to travel. In her teens and 20s she lived in Germany for about 5 years and was au pair in France. She is more Europe oriented although she was born and grew up in California.
