Austen would have been hard-pressed to categorize, and their rather assertive four-and-twenty pound cat, Bear. Besides thoroughly immersing himself in the JAFF world, Don also enjoys cooking (Poulet au vinaigre is a particular favorite), dining out, fine wine and well aged scotch whiskey (Oban 18 Year Old single malt). His other passion is cycling. Most days from April through October will find him "putting in the miles" around the Seattle area (yes there are hills). He has ridden several "centuries" (100 mile days). Don is especially proud that he successfully completed the AIDS Ride-Midwest (500 miles from Minneapolis to Chicago) and the Make-A-Wish Miracle Ride (300 miles from Traverse City, MI to Brooklyn, MI).
