I am closet writer.. I have written all my life, but the pressures of earning a living has preoccupied my dedication to write creatively. Well we all have reasons that separate reality from our fantasies. But now I have time, and have run out of reasons to hide.
I grew up on a farm in Northern Ontario in the 1950’s. Pardon my french, but the truth is I started to speak english when I started grade one at 5 years of age. Without a television in our house until I was age 15 I grew up reading and dreaming. I graduated from grade 12 in 1966, left the farm and never looked back. I have lived in the province of Alberta and also in British Columbia. I play several musical instruments, I like to travel, cook, woodwork, photography, and writing. They say that a man is happiest when what he does is not viewed as work for him. If that is true, then I have likely worked less than 5 years in my entire life.
I have four beautiful children and two beautiful stepchildren. They have all flown the coop leaving my wife Jan and I with an empty nest. That enables us to migrate south to Arizona to escape some of the frigid winter climate. Can I say ‘friggin’ winter climate?
Enough said about me.
