Yours Truly, the director, producer, lead actor, author, publisher of this Work.  I work as a hydrologist/water resources engineer most of the time.  When not working I can be found cycling, writing, sleeping, or messing around on the computer.
 
 

Jen, The Love of My Life, endearing woman that she is.  Currently studying to be a Medical Transcriptionist through The Andrews School.  Also works full-time at home taking care of the Kiddos, keeping house, and homeschooling Ariel.
 
 

Ariel, age 9.2 - stepdaughter that I love as my own flesh & blood.  Currently being homeschooled - in addition to her daily studies, her weekly activities include 4-H, dance, PE, & assisting in giving tours at a local goat farm.
 
 

Braden, age 3.1 - our little guy, who is turning out to be a handsome fellow.  Not quite talking in full sentences yet, but sharp as a nail.  Has the most infectious laugh that will bring anyone out of a bad mood.
 
 

Sugar Spot, or also called "Sugar Pot" by Braden.  Named by Ariel because she has a small, white spot on her back.  A.k.a. Booger and Shugie.
 
 
 

MJ, short for Michael Jackson - Named by moi because one of his front legs is completely white and reminded me of Michael's famous white glove.  A.k.a. Fattie (or how Braden says it - "FAD-DIE")

Ned & Alice, my loving parents who have done a wonderful job raising my sister and me. My dad is a wonderful amateur photographer, and also very active in the Chinese community in MD/DC/VA. My mom enjoys a variety of crafts, and teaches Chinese School part time on the weekends.

Tien (aka Christine), my one and only sibling, my junior by 3 years, living in MD with her husband, and an middle school PE teacher. She also happens to be one of my biggest fans.

Scott, my bestest guy friend of all time, who just received his Ph.D. in anthropology from USC in southern CA. We've been best friends since the 1st grade, and he is one of the funniest, wittiest, most charming *single* men I know. Yes, he is *very* available.

Co-worker buddy, one of my best friends here in Arkansas, a wonderful guitar player, member of the bluegrass group, Something Blue, and is often the inspiration behind much of my writing. Hey, I can't help it if I see & talk to him everyday.
