Just wondering what kind of technical/practical background we all have.

I work at a Nuke Power Plant in a Overview organization. It's more than just your average QA/QC organization. I produce video and multi-media presentations for employee training and information Been doing this for 22 years.

My wife is disabled with a personality disorder ... bipolar. Consequently she CANNOT work.

I'm sorry to hear that Mitch. About 4 weeks after we had Garrett this year my wife got very sick. I took her to the emergency room and a few hours later they determined she had a blood clot that had moved to her brain. She was losing her sight and had some intense headaches. Suffice it to say after a few days in intensive care and then another week in the neurology ward at the hospital you learn really quick what is important in life. It was months afterward before she could really take care of Garrett like she wanted to and the visits to the doctors were very frutrating. Luckily we had some good neighbors that became good friends during that time. Since then I've found I spend a LOT more time at home and a LOT less time in the garage.

As we said above though, it's worth it. We probably won't have another baby as my wife is a high risk pregnancy now, but Garrett's really cool and he's all we ever wanted. Can you say a spoiled only child?
