Once upon a time, a country girl dressed as a cat, met a city boy who didn’t realize the Halloween party he was at was a costume party.  (Luckily he was wearing orange pants and could kind of pass as a pumpkin?) Years later they married and moved from the big city to the burbs, where Tom was born and raised. 

When Tom's parents aren't keeping themselves occupied with various church, school, and town groups, they can be found frequenting the local art house movie theater, watching local theater productions, or travelling into NYC for dinner and a show.
