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
My ritual differs slightly. What I do, first thing [in the morning], is Ihop into the shower stall. Then I hop right back out, because when I hopped
in I landed barefoot right on top of See Threepio, a little plastic robot
character from "Star Wars" whom my son, Robert, likes to pull the legs off
of while he showers. Then I hop right back into the stall because our dog,
Earnest, who has been alone in the basement all night building up powerful
dog emotions, has come bounding and quivering into the bathroom and wants
to greet me with 60 or 70 thousand playful nips, any one of which -- bear
in mind that I am naked and, without my contact lenses, essentially blind
-- could result in the kind of injury where you have to learn a whole new
part if you want to sing the "Messiah," if you get my drift. Then I hop
right back out, because Robert, with that uncanny sixth sense some children
have -- you cannot teach it; they either have it or they don't -- has chosen
exactly that moment to flush one of the toilets. Perhaps several of them.
