| Introduction | A middle aged professional without a mid-life crisis (yet). Completed a few marathon runs, rode bicycle from Houston to Austin, played soccer after 40, did sky diving (tandem) on October 21, 2005, climbed Mount Kilimanjuaro on Oct 9, 2008, visited Antarctica in Dec 2010. Written a few books - technical and non-technical. Returned home to Houston on June 1, 2011 after a 2-year assignment in Africa (Luanda, Angola). No more Luanda HASH run through the slums of Luanda or a weekend run to Pointe Final in Ilha. Spent almost a year in Bogota, Colombia as an expat again, returning home at the end of May 2015. Now I am fighting Houston traffic every morning once again. Life in the big city! |
