About

Deborah Quinn has lived in New York for more than 20 years–long enough to consider herself a New Yorker and not just a transplanted Midwesterner.  She writes about life with three boys (2 sons, 7ish and 11ish, and 1 husband, 49ish), public school education (she ran the PTA at her son’s public elementary school for two years), books & TV  (she’s an English professor by day & avid consumer of junky TV at night), food & nutrition (due to some karmic joke, her sons are pretty much on a white-food-only diet), politics (she’s a lefty to her core and, yes, a feminist), and pretty much anything else that catches her eye.

Starting in August 2011, she will have an whole new world to blog about: she and her family (and all their legos, computers, dvds, books, and soccer balls) are moving to Abu Dhabi, in the UAE.  What will happen when an ironic, ambivalent New Yorker who started life as a Midwestern feminist hits the Middle East?
