about me
I do like to write poetry, sometimes it works, some not, but it is always me...or bits therein. My last position was in the radiology unit (ct) of a major teaching hospital, now retired but still get to do a little work whenever they need a crusty curmudgeon.Classical music is another love, and I am re-learning my piano, reading /writing music in the hope that one day I can put down some of my poetry into music again.

Can I be forgiven in the way I go to a film then get into it so deep actually want that to be the way I live life, that does last 5 minutes only then reality sets in. That I never saw Forest Gump is possibly a good thing,dontcha know,'cos I really don't think life is a box of chocolates. Some of the movies that really did make an impression on me were,lost weekend/ rebel without a cause/the wild one/blackboard jungle/on the waterfront/streetcar named desire/to kill a mocking bird/ catch 22 ...

August,for me, is always a profound month,details of which I shall not bore you with except to add that it concerns the 28th and 1972. As a result some Augusts become watersheds of agendas,the setting of , at times completions of. I'm talking about leap forwards, change, moving on and all that entails. That I do so at this time is not through some mystical force of habit but is in part due to how everyth... read more 
Not sure if the picture that I post for this will get posted as there seems to be a hiccup of some proportions on here.That it might not is neither pertinent for the moment or not, as the case may be. A picture is central to the story but never fear if one doen't appear today then there is always another time to add something.

There was a time (some 40 yrs) when I became very political. Grandfather, who brought me up, was a politican and a mover /shaker of some note.He instilled a desire in me to see wrongs righted and justice for all, you know how the mantra goes, once more into the breech etc etc.Shoulders to the wheel backs to the grindstone, leave no stone unturned, all stirring and commendable stuff, all right and proper too.So on coming of age I joined a political party, the one that happens to be in now pow...

I have lived amongst such plenty, and although at times the view of leaden skies can be a might depressing, just you try to exist in a modern city where all the parks turn to brown dust in Decemb...

I've never had the honor nor the pleasure of meeting rob, but would definitely welcome the opportunity if it were available some day. rob is a man who cares about the world around him and his friends. He shares his pasta with his chickens. THAT is not only kind, but memorable.
rob and I share the mutual interest of paleontology. He picks up articles in the newspapers and popular press that I, as a professional scientist often miss and wish I hadn't. In that way, unknowingly, he's helping me with my interests and profession. Thank you, rob, for being a friend.
