My parents were both philosophy professors, which had unknown effects on my development.  I'm now reluctant to use the word "know."  My Mom is still teaching at La Salle University in Philadelphia.  Her primary interests are in postmodernism, feminism, and moral and ethical philosophy.  My Dad's travels, I think he would like to call them peregrinations, took him from philosophy, to social work, to a degree in theology from Harvard, to various consultant positions, to a myriad of interests.  My parents would read Heidegger to put me to sleep when I was young.  It was Heidegger who made the totally obvious statement, "A being such that in its being its being is in question."  I have a younger sister, Jennie, and she lives in Amsterdam with her boyfriend, Ton.   

Here's the hound now:
