I live in old town Carmel, in a quiet, friendly neighborhood. I share my home with my partner of 11 years and our two rescue dogs; Chester a corgi-mix and Hector a havanese. I love to cook, ride my bicycle and spend time outdoors gardening and landscaping. Since the onset of my ALS symptoms, most of my hobbies have been altered or abandoned. Update 8/11/12: I have renewed two interests -- bird-watching and star-gazing. Both require patience and sitting still. Luckily, I was blessed with patience and I've become an expert at sitting still :)
