I'm a long time computer geek, Unix systems administrator and applications support engineer who plays folk guitar, autoharp and banjo. I also have written a number of songs and like to write poetry when the mood strikes. In addition I'm a ham radio operator and like to hack android tablets and phones. My wife and I just celebrated our 39th wedding anniversary and we have a dozen grandkids (at last count).I'm interested in learning to write short stories and am fascinated by Steampunk.
