For the past twenty-eight years I have been "Mom" (sixteen years as a single

Mom) to three energetic, on-the-move sons. They have kept me young and on my

toes with their antics and their testosterone...Their rationale for my inability

to "understand" them is, "Mom, it's a guy thing. "The oldest, Ty, is 28 and

married to Gina (a wonderful daughter-in-law). He is a plumber, working with a

company in Orlando that does commercial and new construction plumbing. The

middle, Todd, is 27. He is single, lives in Portland, Oregon, and is an

architect. He loves the Northwest and will probably make it his permanent home.

By the way, Todd is the one "Gator" in a staunch family of"Seminoles"! The

youngest, Troy, is 26 and is currently beginning the long journey called medical

school. He has his Master's in Epidemiology and will continue specializing in

that field. He has a long-standing girlfriend, Jennifer, who shares his career

interest as a Social Worker working with AIDS and HIV patients.

And, on a personal note, for the past six years, Gary Farmer, has shared my

life. Gary's son, Ian, lives in San Francisco and is a computer programmer.

We've tried to spread our kids across the US, so we always have nice places to

visit.
