| Location | Vancouver (Brung up at Sutherland Sydney)., British Columbia., Canada |
| Introduction | Well, I have reached the age of 80 and haven't achieved much in life. I did not try hard enough, it now seems. Email: c.wok66@hotmail.com . |
| Interests | Oil painting, mostly landscape. I used to earn my living selling my paintings in Montreal. I speak a few languages with varying degrees of proficiency, but always seem to get by with them. I have traveled a lot in earlier life. I like interesting conversation, but don't get much interaction lately. I used to make silver jewellery in the seventies. I used to be preoccupied with sexual encounters. As I grew older I should have been interested in older women, but never was. This resulted in me chasing eighteen-year-olds when I was sixty. Very pathetic,(but fun,too.} |
| Favorite movies | Well I liked the Sopranos and British mysteries. Nothing sooky, though Casablanca was excellent. Not many good movies in the last thirty years. |
| Favorite music | I strum guitar and banjo, but cannot read music and I suppose I play strange chords sometimes. To me it sounds fine anyway, as I am now half deaf anyway. I prefer to play than to listen. I talk a bit too much in company and spend many hours on my own, on scrabble, internet, dvd and reading science. I have been waiting for something to happen but probably won't know when it does.As Ned Kelly said as he had the noose placed around his neck in Darlinghurst Gaol, "Such is life" |
| Favorite books | Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire by Gibbons is always a good read. History and science mostly. No novels thanks. |
If you were a wrestler, what would be your finishing move?
The wrestling question is stupid.What is the meaning of life? Maybe wrestling with existence in the struggle for genetic continuance. There is no meaning. It is just a genetic process and awareness that comes with life stops when the life switch is turned off.
