About Me

Known as April, I've been with a fellow named Matt for 10 years and married for 7. We have a son named Gabriel who was born in March 2001 and was diagnosed as autistic in March 2004. We have 2 daughters, Eve, born in December 2003 and Sarah, born in March 2006. I played trumpet professionally for a millisecond in 2002 but now do the "mom" thing which works out well considering I am the least musically-talented person to have bore the surname of Pastorius.*EDIT* I'm still the least musically-talented Pastorius but nevertheless I'm playing trumpet again and it's even in a capacity that could be described as 'professional' considering I get paid to do it. I'm having fun and life is good. Awesomeness.

I'd like to meet:

I hope to never meet Mike Patton because I don't want the illusion to be shattered. On the other hand, I'd like nothing more than to try some fermented shark with Anthony Bourdain in Iceland.DR. RON PAUL
