    Spent my childhood as one of two daughters of a rock hound, lapidary
    and facetor (electrical engineer with AT&T, then military - day
    job). Many family vacations were spent hunting for rocks and gems in
    the field and in rock shops. Especially exciting were new finds
    after an earthquake (California/Nevada). 

    I couldn't figure out how to live a normal life (naturally a night
    owl) much less pay the rent in Art, so after college (BA in Art,
    minor in Psychology) I became a direct services social worker (8
    years). The next 16 years were as a state (Wisconsin) specialist in
    child services and protective services and guardianship issues for
    vulnerable adults. 

    I enjoyed my human services career and maybe even accomplished a
    worthwhile thing or two, but am happy to be back (8 years) to what I
    wanted in the first place.
