Here is what I have been up to:

It was good to receive a maiing from Scott Storm concerning the reunion.
I have been at Old Dominion University since 1987. I am an economics professor. I received my Ph.D from Texas A&M. I like it here but it is not Dallas which is, of course, home.
I have a cat named Christine which I did NOT name after myself. A psychology professor friend of mine said I would do the cat great emotional damage if I changed its name from the one the SPCA had for her. I have been living with that error for a long time now.
The mexician food here has finally gone beyond the Taco Bell level but the seafood is great here.
My work keeps me pretty busy. Most of my research entails the intersection between economcis and political science and I have worked with many different levels of government on research projects. I received tenure so I am a fixed cost here. I live on the beach and am able to watch large navy and merchant ships go by, but looking at Dolphins is much nicer.
I have developed a motto which people identify with me up here; "Start off slow then taper off".

I hope this note finds all in good health.
