No, _that_ one I met at a World Science Fiction Convention a few years 
back.  Hadn't seen her since I graduated from Laconia (NH) HS in '73 
(she's a year younger).  She abandoned an incredible talent for 
mathematics to become an MD (we won the NH state math contest as a team 
that year).  Her husband (a damn nice guy) is a Unix developer.  
They're still in NH and I'm hoping to move back up there myself, open a 
chili restaurant and get computers to be just a hobby again instead of 
a job.  <http://www.freestateproject.org>.  Lisa is still waffling 
about that plan even though she's more tired of Jersey than I am (well, 
she's been here four times as long, as in since conception).  Just got 
a contact from a headhunter about a year contract as an AIX sysadmin up 
in Essex Junction, VT.  I figure if Lisa can handle a winter there, she 
can handle New Hampshire.

Government is actually the worst failure of civilized man. There has
never been a really good one, and even those that are most tolerable are
arbitrary, cruel, grasping and unintelligent.		-- H. L. Mencken
