A Weblog--what a concept. I mean really. Me? A blogger. The word itself makes me wince. As if anyone out there gives a rat's rectum about my thoughts or what's going on in my life. Hell, even I don't most of time.
You see the problem is I'm completely ordinary. Not an artist, a writer or anything all that interesting. I'm the proud grandfather of five boys even though I never was anyone's father. Marriage can do that. I've been married now for thirteen and a half wonderful years and she's still the best thing that ever happened to me We met way back in the seventies but she was married to someone else then. In the fall of 1992 we found ourselves working in the same office. Friendship blossomed into love and we moved in together in '93. It took me a couple of years but I managed to persuade her to marry me in '95. And that as they say is that.
I'm just an old hippy who somehow survived the seventies, endured the eighties and found happiness in the nineties. I enjoy cycling, stamp collecting, old science fiction magazines and science fiction conventions. For the last ten years we have attended the local Conversion here in Calgary. (http://www.con-version.org) We have met many of our favourite authors, forcing them to sign our collection of their books. Great fun and a wonderful way to spend a weekend.
