That said, if you’d like to hang around a while and see what’s here, then feel free. But be warned, I’m pretty damn good at wasting other people’s time. Also, be advised that without the burden of an editor I take far too many words to describe anything at all.

You may recognize the site's mascot in the logo area. That's Hedda, my Siberian Husky, and constant companion. She's rounded into a great dog and is quick to alert me when my blood sugar needs looking after. I have probably 1000s of pictures of her and our other dogs Sasha and Rigo. You'll see more of them if you linger.

I used to have the sort of job that left me lots of time to craft webpages in the name of "research". Alas, no more. A wiki isn't the best content management system, but it's fast and easy (for me). Ignore the scaffolding, for now, I'll clear it away as I get things set up.
