About me

Industry Religion
Occupation Professor
Location United States
Introduction These are some of the people which help to fill my life with meaning and purpose: my marriage partner (D)--a fantastic Dad and loving companion; our son who goes here by the blog name Monk; and our black cat, Felix. I write here because it helps me remember what matters most to me. I like the way it keeps me in touch with distant family and friends. And I'm grateful for the ways this blog has expanded my relationships with others in the world especially through the RevGalBlogPal Network. So thanks for stopping by my humble blog.
