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.
