First Person...
Never realised what I had, and now it's gone.
I like gadgets, speed-sailing, reading (SF), geology/archeology, maps.
I'm a GEMINI and that allows for two faced-ness

I want to get into geothermal exploration in my local district and there should be lots of potential sites for an alternative energy source locally. After all, there are coal mines and oil and gas kitchen sites

Site things
I have sites-


Done and Doing Things
Raising four children has been a... experience. At least the last ten years or so.
I have had help at times, and the kids are all the better for having those people in our lives. I am the eldest of six kids, so helping out as a child at home back in the sixties and seventies probably allowed me to be able to handle the present situation- a SNAG? Mum always encouraged me to be at least charming... 

I love reading- any time- any place.
I was a Biggles fan in primary school, I used to read under the desk and was always called to attention.
Library thru the 70's was visited nearly everyday in high school for SF and rock-n-roll bios .
SF remained a passion, since 1979 been subscribed to three magazines.Raising four children has been a great experience. In the last ten years I have had help at times, and the kids are all the better for having those people in our lives. SF remained a passion, since 1979 been subscribed to three magazines. [ Analog, Asimov, F&SF]

I love to catch up with old friends, and enjoy time with my relatives
