| Introduction | I am fifty eight and have had a somewhat convoluted life. I know what it's like to be employed, unemployed and self-employed. I know the pain of divorce and the death of a grandchild. I've traveled some and seen a good deal of my own country. I've recently completed a Bachelor of Ministries degree and am currently writing a book on humanities search for significance and Christianity as a response to that. My wife and I have 5 children between us - 4 of them are married and the youngest is 24. Between them we have 4 grand-children. I enjoy a cold beer and a decent Riesling, the occasional cigar and the company of good friends. I am learning to play the drums and building hifi speakers. |
