My Wife

I thought I would start the first few days with some introductions. It seems logical to start with my wife.

I am married to an ex-English teacher now a nurse midwife. Currently, she is tasking a break from Labor & Delivery and working as a pediatric nurse on a rehabilitation unit at a major children's hospital.

She works nights and we have managed over the years to divide the child care between us to maximize both of our time. Now that the children are not exactly "children" any more, she has more time to indulge her favorite pastimes of reading and creating things in soft media. In recent years her interests have led her to dollmaking and quilting. At the moment she still quilts but the majority of her creative energies have gone into knitting, a hobby she has inducted my daughter into as well.

She and I met while I was a graduate student and started working together on committees protesting US policies in Latin America and the Middle East. This year will mark our 20th anniversary.
