: About Me

I am a 54 yo Hospice Nurse who lives in CT
I live with my partner Georgette and her dog Digby,
a border collie, and Tabitha the cat. I

I've been a Nurse for about 2.5 yrs now and prior
that I was in computers for about 10 yrs. Was also
in electronics for about 5 yrs in my career before
computers.

I have a BA in Psych and an AAS in Electronic Technology. Maybe one day I'll go back for a Masters and / or PhD but not unless I can find a good reason to do that.

Personality wise I'm an explorer. I enjoy finding out new things about the world. Specifically regarding science, and technology. But of course I'm somewhat more rounded than that. I love chocolate and eating in general tho I've been on weight watchers for the last 5 months and lost about 15 lbs.
