From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Personal
I live in Ontario, Canada. I was educated in English Literature and languages at the University of Western Ontario.
I have worked in sales, publishing and marketing, but most recently I've been an editor and webmaster. I also write advertising copy.
In my younger days I managed a couple of pubs, one of which featured live music.
My interests are gardening, baseball, travel, literature, automotives and an eclectic range of music. I am a member of SABR, the Society of American Baseball Research.
When I'm not in my garden, I'm hunkered at my computers or learning Sleepy John Estes tunes on my Stratocaster.
I have a wife, two daughters, Maggie the golden retriever and a cat. My wife likes Gene Kelly while I prefer Fred Astaire.
My favourite place on earth is Potsdamer Platz. Either there or Wrigley Field.
My first computer was a 1983 Apple IIe that I bought new for $1600CDN. Monitor was extra. Came equipped with VisiCalc but I had to cough for Apple Writer IIe.

| This is the saddest excuse for a Wikipedia user page you'll likely ever see. Really, I can do better.
It is not an encyclopedia article either. No part of this document may be reproduced without a computer. No animals were harmed during the creation of this user page. This document should not be viewed by naked people, unless your name is Ramona and you sport a tattoo of a salt marsh harvest mouse. Reluctant sponsor of the 2007 Retired Dirigible Pilots' Piss-Up and Bake Sale. Allergy alert: may contain nuts. Or maybe the person who wrote it is nuts. Don't have anything better to do right now rather than read this? You could wash the garage, write to the Pope inviting him to join your bowling team, wrap the dog in tin foil, wax the toilet seat, call China and order some takeout, feed a cold, starve a fever, call a help desk and ask how to remove large bloodstains from a linen tablecloth, sing some Gilbert & Sullivan, get in touch with your inner Elvis, visit the post office with a cardboard box asking how far away you can mail a cat for $20, mentor an idiot, tell the guys in the office you're a lesbian trapped in the body of a man, start a fan club for an imaginary person, call the government to complain about the black helicopters following you, see what's in your neighbour's garbage, screen The Italian Job in Italian, rehabilitate a hooker, you get the idea. Boy, do my feet hurt!
