About me

Welcome to my personal home page. I am married to Carol L. Cain and live in an RV in McGregor, ON in the summer and travel south in the winter. We have no children but we have sponsored children overseas through Foster Parents Plan of Canada.

We also used to foster cats for Toronto Cat Rescue, an organization associated with Project Jessie of Animal Alliance.

I play guitar, bass and, to varying degrees of competence, harmonica, keyboard and drums. In the sixties I had a band called The Purple Moss. We never played anywhere but my basement and only played the one song, Louie, Louie. In the eighties I revived my music "career" and have formed and joined various bands. More information on my music can be found on my music page.

I am a computer programmer. I was a partner in Vybe Networks Inc.. I have since bought it outright with my wife, Carol. I enjoy travelling with my wife.

That's an old picture of me. Hover over it to see what I look like now.

In case you need me next week, here's my schedule.

A Fortune

Dear Miss Manners:
I carry a big black umbrella, even if there's just a thirty percent chance of
rain. May I ask a young lady who is a stranger to me to share its protection?
This morning, I was waiting for a bus in comparative comfort, my umbrella
protecting me from the downpour, and noticed an attractive young woman getting
soaked. I have often seen her at my bus stop, although we have never spoken,
and I don't even know her name. Could I have asked her to get under my
umbrella without seeming insulting?

Gentle Reader:
Certainly. Consideration for those less fortunate than you is always proper,
although it would be more convincing if you stopped babbling about how
attractive she is. In order not to give Good Samaritanism a bad name, Miss
Manners asks you to allow her two or three rainy days of unmolested protection
before making your attack.
