I live with my long-suffering, sainted wife Jennifer, without whom I'd be hopelessly lost, instead of just lost, and four children, Ian, Simon, Francine and Jeremy who challenge, enlighten, amaze, inspire and irritate me on a daily basis. My hobbies include music: progressive rock, instrumental rock, jazz and fusion, and anything else challenging and interesting. I have composed in the past and am constantly trying to acquire the energy and time to do more. I also enjoy photography, cooking, 3D graphics (with POV-Ray), MST3K and The Simpsons. These opinions are solely my own and do not reflect those of my employers, past or present, the Government, the Church or the effects of CIA mind-control lasers. Not that anyone would want them.
