| Introduction | I'm a middle aged man (old in my view at 48). At varying times a musician, an artist, a designer, a woodworker, a writer and a jack of all trades. At all times, a worrier, a thinker, an iconoclast and a dreamer who teeters on the edge of failure. The views expressed here are mine. God help you if they are yours as well. |
