Hello! And welcome to Jon Frankel's other page!

If you want to see pictures/videos of my family, check this out. Otherwise, you're in the right place.

I do an annual ski pilgrimage out west each year with my friends Mark Lowenstein & Jonathan Finkelstein (as well as see them at New Year’s at Mark’s family’s country house – see the Stowe page for fun pictures from that weekend).  We quest for powder, which we often seem to get in Salt Lake City, but seem to just miss elsewhere (see 2003, 2001, 2000).  We've had a run of 4 great years of powder - next year - who knows?  Our past trips have included:

In the summertime, I am a Red Sox fan.  They have a great web site, but a perennial second place ball team.   In July 2004, we volunteered to help with Fenway Fantasy day where fans get to bat and field on the real mccoy.  Then on Father's Day 2005, Amanda sang the national anthem & Adam & I got to go out on the field as part of the "father's day catch".   Here's some photos from that, in addition to this 1999 photo of Carlton Fisk showing his feelings for the first place Yankees.   He might as well have been talking to the A's (late 80's/early 90s), Indians (Mid 90's) or any of the other teams who've been extending Boston's World Series ring-less streak.  One day, hopefully in my lifetime, we'll see them win it all.  In the meantime, it's wait until next year - AGAIN.   October 2004 Update!  The Sox WIN the World Series.  Despite A-Rod's best efforts to derail them, the Red Sox made history by coming back from being down 0-3 against the Yankees and then sweeping the Cardinals in the World Series.  Adam, Donna, Mark & I got tickets to one of the greatest Fenway games ever, when the Sox came back again Mariano Rivera in the 9th and won it in the 12th on a David Ortiz walk off home run to begin the record setting 8 game post-season win streak. WOW!   Check out these photos: October 2007 Update!  The Sox WIN the World Series AGAIN.  This time we to to go to the pennant clinching game 7 against Cleveland, as well as two other post-season games.  Check out the clinching catch by Coco and the post-game party.    Adam & I also went to the Clay Buchholz no-hitter with Dan, Judy and Quinn (who left the game in the 8th!!) - here's that ending.  but Looking forward to opening day 2008 for the ring presentation.  Don't ask me for a ticket - I have no extras.

Professionally, I am a professor of MIS at Nichols College.  I used to run a small business offering personalized computer tutoring and web page setup - it was called  CompuTutor - check it out if you'd like.  

That's all I want to say for now. If you have some comments, drop me a note (unless you have something nasty to say - then give me your home page URL & I'll let you know why mine is better). Now go do something more useful than being on-line - read a book or take a nap. You won't hate yourself tomorrow for staying up too late doing either of those.
