About Me

Have been to 4 of the 7 continents, lived on 3 of them. I lapse into British spelling and terms of speech at random, ignore it and it goes away again.I am fair to middling at many things and not spectacular at any one of them. I have a great amount of useless knowledge and trivia in my head, that and the lyrics to most of the songs from the 1950's and 60's. I remain convinced that if I could clear those out, I would then have the space to go back and learn physics and science-y things. Alas, technology hasn't gotten that far yet. I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
