Other earthly pursuits that contribute to those ends include music, camping, books and magazines, technology, comedy, playing lacrosse and watching professional ice hockey. Ted loves his aloof and standoffish cat. His dog loves her aloof and standoffish owner. Ted is the regional communications and community relations manager for Excellus BlueCross BlueShield in Utica.
