I was born and raised by the saltchuck thus have web feet and still long for the tang. I have sewn all most anything for as long as I can remember. I am 66 years old. I was married for 20 years and have been divorced for 20 years. I love being single and free.
I have a 37 yr old son who lives in Montreal with his wife but no children on the horizon.
Son owns a performance lighting company - travels a lot with big names through which I live vicariously as I do not like travelling. And, I have a 36 year old daughter who moved just last week from the Toronto area to Vancouver with her Portuguese husband and my only grandchild - dear one year old Cooper. She is a health psychologist who works in research rather than clinical practice. 
Amazing what we spawn. I retired from nursing 4 years ago, thus officially RN, retired. I worked all of my working life span. For most of my career I was a nurse educator. I taught everything from short continuing ed courses, refresher nursing programs to LPN to BSN programs, primarily in RN programs (US = ADN). My area of practice and focus was family nursing with some surgical nursing, though I have worked in most nursing areas including community nursing. When our diploma nursing program evolved into a BSN program I developed and taught alternate/complementary healing methods into our traditional healing course - a life long interest. More than you probably wanted to know, but explains some of my responses to posts.
I also have been involved with computers for 20 years, including using mainframes, but the speed of technology tends to overwhelm me. I have a chronic pain/fatigue syndrome as well as extensive degenerative joint problems, which led to my not so early retirement.
I read a great deal, sew and quilt and but am being forced to cut back on my life long gardening. I hate housework and, while used to do extensive cooking and baking, I have 'been there and done that'. But I am crazy enough to recently undertaken to have some home renovations started. I look forward to continuing to 'communicate'/share new and old ideas with friends and other members. My goal this year is to sew down my stash and sew my McKenna Ryan quilt.
My signature shows while I get little sewing/quilting done.
PS What is an uber geek - a smilie in list?
