Matt and his wife Nancy used to live in Los Angeles until their house burned down in the Palisades Fire. The fire was somewhat serendipitous, because it inspired them to move to the shores of a beautiful lake in the Adirondacks in upstate New York, with many side trips to San Francisco, Boston, Iceland, Wales, and elsewhere.
