In 20 days we're moving from Salem, Massachusetts (population ~40,000, 18 square miles) to Pomfret, Connecticut (population ~4,000, 40 square miles).
I've been married a little over 5 years. My wife's name is Linda. She's so wonderful.
We adopted our son, Max, at birth in November 2007. He's a happy whirling dervish.
We lost our other son, Leo, stillborn one month before his due date in July 2009 - just over a month ago.
I've been unemployed since December 2008.
Yesterday morning, August 2009, my wife and I signed documents with our attorney with the intention of declaring bankruptcy.
I am training for a marathon, my first, in October 2009. Many of the training miles are run in minimalist footwear called Vibram Five Fingers.
I am 'this close' to becoming a vegetarian.I turn 40 in 112 days.
And I am looking forward to what comes next.
Stay tuned.

Ringer, Sorry to hear about your loss and I would go for the vegetarian thing. I have been vegan since March after going back to being a vegetarian in January. The difference is night and day.
Now I want your hat as well as your shoes. (The shirt's pretty cool, too.)
