Bio
This is the story of six twenty- and thirty-somethings, married, with child, dog, and two babies on the way, sharing an old farmhouse in Washington, DC. We all needed companionship, parenting and marriage support, and rent relief in the big city. We hoped that living together would help. We'll see!
We met years ago at www.kairosonline.org, when we were all footloose and fancy free. We weathered each other's courtships and celebrated each other's marriages. We have a stake in each other's lives, whether or not the co-housing gig works out. We have the world's greatest landlord!! And we have a 10-month lease, in case all hell breaks loose once the babies arrive. : )
I, Laura the chronicler, am one of the two breadwinners in the house. We also have two full-time moms and two full-time students. I'm a bureaucrat by day and a writer by early morning/late night. I LOVE THE CFR and to prove it, I mounted a shrine to Kafka in my cube. Favorite writers include J.M. Coetzee, George MacDonald, Chimamanda Adichie, Gregory Wolfe, Terry Teachout, Milan Kundera, Flannery O'Connor, Ceslaz Milosz, Emily Dickinson, Franz Wright, John Donne and others. If I had it my way, I would read all day.
Personages who appear in this blog include: my husband Ben; the roomies: JJB & CB; JSB, DB & toddler LB; my sisters, Betz, Jones and Doodle; and Uncle Angus.
