Personal:
Dr. Irene is 53, (happily) married and lives in Southern NY State with her husband
and their boys, The Pumkin (an orange alley cat), Tuffy (an orange
feral cat), and Moxie (a black feral). A one-time illustrator, her
interests include web-stuff, interior design, caring for feral cats, & her husband's
model trains.
She does the train scenery and some electronics, which invariably short-circuit. She is a self-taught computer whiz;
is a great cook - on a perpetual diet that never works, and grudgingly finds almost
enough time for exercise. She is neither modest nor untruthful.
