Fun, joy, love
I have been blessed with a wonderful wife, Sandy, and beautiful children, Elizabeth and Emily.

Sandy earned her Ph.D. in linguistics from the Macquaire University, Sydney, Australia.

Sandy and Daniel
Sandy and yours truly, July 2006, Chicago


Like all children, my daughters love art, and they have blessed me with so many drawings over the years. I thought I would share a little of it here. This page has a few drawings that my daughters have given me over these many years.

Below, Elizabeth, at the age of 14, rendered her father as she often sees him early in the morning — at work on the computer, in his pajamas, slippers, and bathrobe, holding a cup of tea.

At work


Below left is my daughter Emily's impression of her father. She drew this at age 6. Below right is a more recent portrait.

Emily's viewpoint   Emily, age 7


Elizabeth has a wicked sense of humor. One of her favorite targets for her sarcasm is dad. If you have spent any time at all in the HyperTextBooks, I thought you might appreciate her perspective on her father's pomposity.

Liz, age 14


Note that Liz's signature is in the power socket connection.
Appropriate I think.
