OK, yes, we should not be reductionistic in regards to equating what we "do" with our work...

But, to stick with the theme of the thread, I am a stay-at-home-dad of a three year old girl (Simone) and a ten month old boy (Gavin). During naptime I am trying to write my dissertation as I am a grad student in Philosophy. Doing work around the Phenomenology of Place coming out of the work of Martin Heidegger, Gaston Bachelard, with some infusions of Edmund Husserl and Walter Benjamin (for you Philosophy-nerds). My hope is to have it be rather interdisciplinary pulling in some aspects of city/place planning and human geography. I tell people at parties that I am a topoanalyst (taking from Bachelard).

I commute by bike.

I like this thread.
