More about me

I spend most of my time at my cottage on Sparling Lake in the province of Quebec.  I have 4 cats, feed birds and in the snow season I also feed about 15 deer. I put out 40 pounds of oats each day for my Bambis along with a few apples or carrots.  I have a love/hate relation with winter.  Love the snow and cold, hate shoveling the snow and bring in wood for the fire. (I have electric heat but suppliment it with a wood stove.)............... Jan.5/08  I had to go in and edit my picture..... I have had a beard since i was 25 but lost my head and shaved it off just before my last EON photo.  My wife said That I looked too grouchy without it so I have now regrown it. 

 

Activities

computer gaming, flower gardening(gave up on veggies as the deer, rabbits and grubs eat them faster than I grow them, swimming, friendly poker

Favorite Charities

None, I think it is the government's responsibity to see that no one is hungry, homeless, poor or sick. My wife does not share my view and gives to heart and stroke, leukemia, diabetes and arthritis campaigns

Favorite Music

classical and country

Favorite TV Shows

CSI, NCIS, Little Mosque on the Prairie, Power of Ten, hate hospital/doctor dramas and CSI Miami

Favorite Movies

Comedy

Favorite Books

Mainly read science magazines and poker books and find that the plot in most novels are variances on novels I read 50 years ago

Favorite Quotes

"One should be satisfied with what they have, so get enough now" "Philosphy is, what philosphers do, when philosphers set out to discover what philosphy is."

Favorite People

Family and friends but not necessarily in that order.

Favorite Places

My cottage on the lake, summer and winter

Favorite Animals

Ones that do not bite and regard me as a source of protein. I have 4 cats but no dog. I had a Lab but she expired of old age and if I get a pup now, it will live longer than I will and I don' think that is fair.
