Gerardo Lapetina tells us, '"At a loss for anything better to do, I went to law school at BU immediately upon graduating from college in 1993. I then spent the first nine years of my legal career in New York City, practicing variously in the areas of corporate, securities and insurance law. (I also did a little plumbing on the side, too, and cooked chili like you wouldn't believe. OK, OK, kidding about the plumbing, but totally NOT kidding about the chili. ; ) Living in NYC was (mostly) glorious, not the least because I met Ingrid, the love of my life, there. When she got pregnant -- with twins: one boy, one girl! -- about three years ago, we made the agonizing-but-altogether-practical decision to move to Washington, DC, where I took a job as an in-house lawyer. DC is fine (though it can't keep up with the mighty NYC, but what can?). Still, it's nice to live in a real house (and not a 800 ft sq. apartment, like we did in New York) and be closer to my folks who are still in Chapel Hill. And Charlie and Cecilia, my two-year-old kids -- ahh, the kids: they rock out so hard! Even harder than Van Halen and Ratt and Dokken did at the Greensboro Coliseum in the mid-1980s. And y'all know that's real hard. 4/08. Email: glapetina@yahoo.com"
