"But now" says the Once-ler,
"Now that you're here,
the word of the Lorax seems perfectly clear.
UNLESS someone like you
cares a whole awful lot,
nothing is going to get better.
It's not."  - Dr. Seuss

About Me I grew up in the Boston area and have those strong pragmatic New England roots... yet at the same time I enjoy taking the path less travelled.

I want to make a positive impact on the world. I'm driven to constantly make a difference in whatever I do.

For those who enjoy the Myers Briggs personality tests, I'm an INTP. I'm a type 1 on the Enneagram chart. Yes, I enjoy social psychology.

I like to travel to remote areas, though I've done little of that lately, given how much I have been working. In the meantime, I'm enjoying life, loving having two children, and doing fun things like work on Care2 Connect!

Wild Fact About Me I live here. Really.
My Philosophy you are what you think about
What Gives Me Hope everything always works out for the best in the end... if you want it to... and I do.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by tough one... hmmm, I guess I'd force everyone to become a lifelong member of Care2 ;)
What/who changed my life and why I'd have to say my parents. Combined, they taught me the importance of hard work, high standards, compassion for those less fortunate, love, responsibility, respect for the natural world and integrity. I am incredibly fortunate to have such two amazing role models.

    Hi Randy, I am leaving a comment on your page asking for help because I cant get a response. My message system is STILL not working. 1. Need help re password. My friends need help with theirs. I can not delete posts in the group host notice boards and I am NOT happy about that. Cant even report a mistake to have it removed, or tidy up the 'group host's messages.' I made some typing mistakes, and then I realised I could not fix them! Or delete them.
    Really not too happy about this. Also what happened to the tab lable buttons on the groups? 'I also introduced C2 to new friends I know, and they said, oh, that web site spams you and you get a ton of virus! Not touching that place again and all I wanted to do is sign a petition! Why do i have to sign up to sign a petition??? Its a con job?? ' Please help. Many thanks.   I have stayed loyal to C2, but this above is not good. Eco
