On a humorous note, apart from the career background similarity another similarity is you are following me and now I am following you!

I’m glad to have been introduced to your blog and look forward to following you. Our daughter graduated from UNT, like you did, and is a molecular biologist/geneticist in Houston. And she has dogs – 3 now between her and her husband. 🙂 I just noticed those similarities right away between you and my daughter. Your blog looks very interesting and beautiful!
