About me

[edit]

I'm semi-retired pretty much these days. I'm trying things with my life, but I'm about, prod or poke me if you want me. I had some good times here with good people, and I miss those days. It'll be 20 years since I created an account here pretty soon. I'll try and throw a little edit here and there when the time comes.

My main area of expertise is probably comics. I also garden a little, and have a genuine interest in finding things out, so I hope I can bring that to bear here.

I came here to look up an obscure US poet, Helen Hoyt, and since there was no entry, I created it and have been here ever since.
