Our Family

ABOUT OUR FAMILY

David works for a small Internet company, TailoredMail, as a software developer. (David escaped from Microsoft in 2000, after more than 10 years there.)

Betsy used to work for Microsoft, too: for her last two years there, she managed a large group of technical writers who produced online documentation for Internet server products. She left Microsoft in 1997, after having spent nine long years there, and is now an (almost) fulltime mom, homemaker, and "kitty mom." Betsy currently works part time as a cellist, web designer, webmaster, and contract editor. She also homeschools our youngest child, now in high school.

IN OUR SPARE TIME

So what do we do other than cats, kids and work? Well, there isn't much time for other stuff, but we do have a few additional hobbies. David is an excellent chef and gardener, and is an avid reader. Betsy paints and makes jewelry. She also plays acoustic cello with the bands Skinny White Chick, Tricky Pixie, Vixy and Tony, and Kitten Sundae. For many years, she played electric cello in the indie rock band Gaia Consort. Betsy was also a serious competition ballroom dancer until permanently sidelined by a dance injury.
