[Tom Lawless]

I am a Catholic Priest. It's not a bad vocation for a bird owner. He pretty much gets most of my attention and since I live where I work he gets to spend a lot of time with me even if it means he is on his desk perch while I try to do some work. Of course he considers the computer keyboard and mouse to be his toys. Before going into the priesthood I had a degree in Accounting and worked in the finance department of a local hospital. It was a career I enjoyed.

I have a brother and two sisters that are/were teachers. The first year is always the worst. If I remember correctly as lesson plans fell into place the following years got easier and the hours a little shorter.
