Their home is situated in a pleasant tree lined block with other brownstones, and is just minutes away from the Brooklyn Museum, the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens, and Brooklyn's Prospect park. Nearby subways (5 minute walk) make downtown Manhattan reachable in 15-20 minutes. Add another 10-15 minutes for midtown Manhattan. Patricia, a midwife, enjoys gardening, cooking, photography, architecture and shopping in the nearby farmer's market. Tom works in his home office writing fiction and non-fiction. His interests include automobiles, modern fiction, philosophy, sculpture, blacksmith & forge work, and he enjoys listening to music, especially jazz and contemporary classical music. In addition to being a writer, builder, and blacksmith, Tom has interests in and knowledge of 19th century Danish philosophers and 20th century Baltic, Russian, and East European composers. His charming wife Patricia, in addition to being a practicing midwife, is a photographer, architectural critic, enjoys playing the piano, bakes bread, and enjoys reading. Both Tom and Patricia use their bicycles for errands; Patricia bikes back & forth to work at a local hospital.
