| Introduction | Educational Advocate, Autism Mom, Indian-born Immigrant, Boston-raised, Adopted, Massachusetts Democrat. Single parenthood is an adventure. My kids keep me on my toes. J (21) is a vet student. A (19) is a budding meteorologist & Build-a-Bear owner who lives every day with the challenges of autism. E (18) adores cats & will start college to be a speech/language pathologist. My creative, quirky S (16) loves Colorguard & sloths. I advocate for kids with disabilities & teach/train professionals. I work hard and occasionally rest. I love shopping. Yet, I am an interesting breed of shopper: a buyer & returner. I love to write. I sing badly. I own a MacBook & iPhone because they are supposed to be friends. I have developed an unhealthy reliance on the GPS. I drive a boring, small SUV now that my kids are post-minivan age. Daughter of a Presbyterian church organist/choir director. |

Radio wire is often used to make bird nests. What station do they listen to?
Definitely not the one that tells them not to build nests under my air conditioners :-)
