About me:

I'm an electrical engineer working for a NASA contractor. I handle sustaining engineering and design changes for satellite tracking stations. Most of my work is at Wallops Island, Virginia. However, sometimes I travel to Alaska and Antarctica. In fact, I am writing this from McMurdo Station, Antarctica. I am married, with kids and grandkids. My 29-year marriage has shown me that love can grow stronger with familiarity despite the saying about it bringing contempt. My grandchildren are the most beautiful children this planet has ever seen, of course. They come from good stock. This is an impartial evaluation that does not take away from the valid (though mistaken) judgement by other grandparents on the attractiveness of their progeny. I believe: An appropriate life requires compromise of desires and not compromise of principles. Relationships demand sacrifice and great relationships demand great sacrifice, yet sacrifice, no matter how great, does not always improve a relationship. Sacrifice hurts...if it didn't hurt it wasn't a sacrifice.
