Introduction Why journeyman ? It's not a travel blog. A journeyman was a craftsman who had finished his training and so was free to sell his labour by the day (or 'journee' in medieval French). I worked in that world for 25 years in the printing industry but nowadays I am a History teacher. 'Journeyman' has also come to mean competent but un-flashy. That's still something to aspire to.
Interests martial arts, motorcycles, socialism, history
Favorite Movies Tacky gore-fest B movies. Cheesy black and white classics. Arty French stuff... But strangely enough not really into kung-fu movies.
Favorite Music Extremely broad tastes. Except easy-listening. And (most)opera. And the bland shit that nowadays gets called R'n'B. And power ballads. And most dance music. And music that calls itself Country but isn't really. OK - may be not such broad tastes.
Favorite Books Far too many to list.
