If I'm not home, I'm likely to be:
-
Somewhere out west, hiking or backpacking.
Favorite places: the Sierras of course, but also Wyoming and Colorado. -
In the winter, skiing - downhill or cross county.
Favorite places: Snowmass, all the other Colorado Classics and The Royal Gorge, for family fun.
Snowbird, Jackson Hole and Yellowstone for my own adventure.

I've been a subscriber to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chicago's Lyric Opera most of my life; and an enthusiastic contributor to both (with my wife Ksenia A. and with the help of AT&T and Lucent).
We have subscriptions to both the Lyric Opera of Chicago and the Chicago Symphony.
Ocasionally we have Lyric Opera tickets for sale - tickets that we can't use bacuse of schedule conflicts or other reasons. The seats are what I consider to be the absolutly best seats in the house.
