PERSONAL
Barbra is married to Jim, your webmaster, and has one loving but shy whippet named Diamond, and one cat Bezel (short for Beelzebub) who is rather sweet but dumb as a box of hair. They are slowly, ever so slowly, restoring a 1928 home in South Tampa's Gray Gables neighborhood. Barbra is a Novell Certified Technology Officer for Chase Mortgage Corp. She and Jim disagree on computer operating systems, but both admit to being nerds. Their dueling Palm Pilots attest to that.
We also collect, primarily work by contemporary Florida artists: see more on this here.
