| Introduction | I have lived in Manitoba, Canada all my life. I have been a writer of poetry and fiction most of it. For better or for worse, I have also spent much of my life in the throes of home rennovation. I have taught all the levels and grades from second grade up to top level grad courses, I am shy, contemplative, love humour, dislike machismo. |
