I moved to California immediately after graduation from UMass in 97. That means that I have been here for eight years. I'd call that official. I have lost touch with Boston somewhat, but F'ster has helped me reform some connections. Angelina and I have been married for 3 years now, and together we run a successful software company called RadicalFusion, focusing on building technology for the Left, specifically unions and non-profits.

Eventually, I would like to go back to graduate school and further my study of Political Economy. I am not sure when that will happen, but it's never too late. I have toyed with the idea of studying something more technical, in line with the work I do, but my passion is really Marx--as anyone on my Friends list can tell you.

It's unlikely I would ever move back to Boston, but I would like to reconnect with friends there. If anyone knows where the remains the the Nevertheless crew are, please let me know. I have found Patterson in NY, and Jeremy's in PA somewhere (got him on MySpace.com), but I have no idea where Jesse Cousineau ended up. I would also be curious what happened to Sean Coleman or Josh Marena.

Lastly, to my STPEC friends, it is important that we remain connected. In these dark times, what with Voldemort in the White House and all, it's difficult to remain committed to principal. The whole point of working for social change is that power comes from the collective. In the personal, that means that we have to support each other politically, psychologically, emotionally and spiritually, even when we feel the most drained and desperate. As MLK said, "the arc of history is long, but bends toward justice." It's only a matter of time until people take their destiny in their own hands. Our job as activists is not to tell them how, but to help them realize they already know how, and to support them however we can.

Peace.

Basically, we'd like to meet other couples who are past (or
winding down from) their party days. We'd like to meet folks
with similar politics (anti-war, anti-racism,
anti-capitalist, feminist) for long dinners and engaging
discussion. I played Ultimate frisbee for a long time, so I am always ready to toss the disc around the park. We're into hikes and camping and
other outdoorsy stuff as well.
