More about me

CE'AD MILE FAILTE!


I've lived here in the Seacoast region most of my life, and worked for one employer in various technical capacities for 35 years until I retired. Since I was a technical writer for part of my career, I've been updating my skills in Adobe publishing products with the objective of working in desktop publishing in the future. I have two grown sons of whom I'm very proud.
I've been online since home computers were first plugged into phone lines. The WWW didn't exist, social networks like Qlink charged by the minute, and the biggest upgrade was replacing a 300 baud modem with a 1200 baud, but we could see the future in our small 16-color monitors.

Incidentally, I'm left-handed and I make great chocolate chip cookies!
OK, that's my "resu-ME" All else I shroud in mystery.

Activities
Computers, stock market, photography, sportscars, beaches, salt water fishing, gym. I'm also an occasional mixed media artist using old computer parts (one photo on here).
Favorite Charities
Local aid and nonprofit organizations, animal shelters, and private schools. They use their money most efficiently.
Favorite Music
Sixties rock (Doors, Moody Blues, Zombies, etc.), Celtic music, some current rock, European gothic, some country, classical. I also play piano. Favorite song: I have about a dozen of various genres. Saw Loreena McKennitt live and think she's great!
Favorite TV Shows
"V", "The Cape", etc.. I'm sick of reality and game shows. I'll take a good sci-fi or drama any day.
Favorite Movies
Drama, action, scary stuff. I don't mind chick flicks, but the Cinderella scenario is overrated. Some musicals, such as "Cats", "Phantom of the Opera", "Rent", and "Sweeney Todd"!
Favorite Books
"The Bridge Across Forever" by Richard Bach; "Winning" by Jack Welch. "Who Moved My Cheese" by Spencer Johnson Books by Lovecraft and Poe. "The Raven".
Favorite Quotes
"No day but today" from Rent; "All are punished" - the Prince of Verona; "Time is a great charlatan, not a great healer" - LRH; "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation" - Thoreau
