I love living and teaching in Berkeley and feel lucky my kids are in Berkeley schools. When not teaching, reading, or hiking, I spend a lot of time writing postcards to voters; attending political meetings with other middle-aged middle class women; going to marches; and generally rabble-rousing. Our new family pastime (besides protesting) is Family Band: Tom (9) on guitar and vocals; Martha (12) on fiddle; Adrian on bass guitar and recorder; Carrie on banjo, vocals, and occasional tambourine. Mom Phyllis and Dad David live nearby and are very involved grandparents.
