Married to my lovely and incredibly tolerant wife Jill for over 38 years, I am a grandfather, father of two grown, highly successful sons, music lover, avid reader of sci-fi, fantasy and general literature (my favorite author is Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., who fits each of those categories), and golfer (immediate past President of my Club), in that order. I am a self-employed divorce attorney by trade, nearing retirement, but that is my career, not my identity. Although I generally shun social media, I look forward to participating in, and hopefully making useful contributions to, thoughtful discussions about our shared affliction. Obviously, I have to watch my diet (which is difficult because, like most of us type 2’s, I LOVE to eat - I hope I can say that without giving offense - and I especially like authentic Asian food, which is a huge BG killer). In addition to diabetes, I have mild CLL, pancreatic cysts, some anxiety issues, and more than a touch of arthritis. Nevertheless, I am a recent first time grandfather, and I do not let my health issues be the focal point of my life. I hope that you do the same.

Thank you for welcoming me into your fold.
