My name is Dave. Welcome to my website.

Among other things, I’m Nathaniel’s dad.

My first wife, Sarah, passed away in 2006. When she was diagnosed with colon cancer, I started sending a lot of broadcast emails to keep our friends and family up to date on her health and recovery (or, as it turns out, the lack thereof), and to ask for support. Since she died, I’ve given it up. But although my family news is no longer exactly time-sensitive, people still want to know what’s going on with us, and I’ve missed the sense of community it gave me. I hope to recapture that with this journal.

I’ll be posting pictures and stories about how we are doing. I hope you’ll add your comments.

The adorable hippos are a watercolor by my incredibly talented sister, Veronica. Thanks, sis!
