</H1>
<P>
As of Dec '96, I telecommute from Austin.
<P>
I like to play as much volleyball as I can (hardly any since Feb 95!). I
also play ultimate, hang out with my wife and our dogs, rollerblade, play
raquetball, softball, or whatever.

      From medication at school to bungee jumping and the use of tanning beds,
      there are very few activities in which minors may engage without the knowledge
      of their parents. There is one activity, however, that a child may engage
      in without the knowledge of their parents -- abortion.

	  Marianne takes her children to a memorial service in Rick's hometown in
	  Pennsylvania, but not to the one on Long Island, because she knows there
	  are going to be a lot of television cameras there. ("Children don't grieve
	  in front of crowds--they grieve in bed saying, 'I want Daddy to read me a

	<BLOCKQUOTE>
	  But these escapades had occurred years earlier, in some cases decades earlier,
	  when I was in my twenties and thirties. I was forty-one now, well past my
	  climbing prime, with a graying beard, bad gums, and fifteen extra pounds
	  around my midriff. I was married to a woman I loved fiercely---and who loved
	  me back. Having stumbled upon a tolerable career, for the first time in my
	  life I was actually living above the poverty line. My hunger to climb had
	  been blunted, in short, by a bunch of small satisfactions that added up to
	  something like happiness.
