George and his wife Meg and his dogs Augie and Lanie live in Stamford, Connecticut. They moved there from New York City the long way - via Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida, the United Kingdom, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong and California. Their three children drop by from time to time between their own various travels to try to soak up more back to school chats.
