My name is Mike Hillwig and I live in Salem, MA with my pug, Reggie. I'm a DBA (database administrator) with a high tech company. Originally from the Pittsburgh area, I moved to Providence in December 2004 and then to Boston in November 2005. March of 2008 brought me to Salem on the Massachusetts north shore.
What else do you want to know? I'm an aviation geek, a foodie, have some tattoos and live with Multiple Sclerosis. This year, I'm in my first season singing Baritone with the Boston Gay Men's Chorus. If there is anything else you'd like to know, just ask. I'm hardly shy.
I was out walking Reggie tonight when I heard a “heavy” taking off. After a while, you can tell when a widebody aircraft is taking off, and this was certainly one of them. What I saw was a Virgin Atlantic Airbus A340-600 on its way to London. All I could say was “Wow.” Watching the big planes taking off is one of the few things I’ll really miss about living in this neighborhood.
