I'm a happily married housewife and professional musician. I have been to college a whole lot - so much so that my dad used to call me a "professional student." I promise it was strictly by accident and wonderful opportunity that allowed me to pursue a variety of interests (languages, and geology among others) to the depth of study that I was able to. My life is blessed by the long time companionship of a sweet little gray cockatiel.

Update May of 2008: The little gray cockatiel died in February of 2008. He was a little treasure and a joy for the 20 years I had him and he will be greatly missed.
