| Introduction | My first job out of school (near 30 years ago now) was in I.T. The computer was the size of a room and we used reel to reel. Things have come a long way since then. Fast forward some 20 odd years... With planning and a little luck, I was able to take 4 years off work as I approached 40. I spent that time raising 2 teens on my own. I'm back at work now, and... liking it. |
| Interests | Family, reading, computers, movies and the Leafs. I'll also say cooking as not only do I enjoy it but I'm pretty good at it. |
| Favorite Movies | Pink Floyd The Wall, A Clockwork Orange, V for Vendetta, The Shawshank Redemption, 12 Monkeys, The Thing, Pulp Fiction, Million Dollar Baby, The Matrix, Unbreakable, Alien, Blade Runner, Platoon, Scarface, The Godfather (I and II), Star Wars, Batman, The Bourne Supremacy, Unforgriven, Gladiator... I'm not a 'fan' of older films as I find the acting to be two dimensional. |
| Favorite Music | Frank Zappa and Neil Young, everyone else is second. |
| Favorite Books | I've been reading novels weekly since I was very young, so lets name authors instead... Ken Follet, Rober Ludlum, Michael Crighton, Clive Cussler, Dale Brown, Jeffrey Archer (he's due for a new one), John Grisham (he's due for a good one)... and yes, I did read The Da Vinci Code and I quite enjoyed it. There are many, many more that don't come to mind right now. |
