I'm a "work at home" grandfather of 8, cancer survivor, avid recreational dragonboat coach, paddler and photographer, and enjoy doing volunteer work in my community. I walk several kilometres a day in the vain hope I will shed some of my excess pounds. I'm Californian born and bred, but moved north to Oregon in '64, and Canada in '67. I'm a dual citizen, and love living on Vancouver Island. I have a successful Internet business, which gives me the freedom to spend more time with friends and family. I enjoy cooking, particularly with Thai curry pastes - I like spicy food - and baking with exotic sourdough cultures. http://islandroamer.smugmug.com/photos/421844354_BqenK-Ti.jpg http://islandroamer.smugmug.com/popular/ 2009-11-28T09:32:38Z Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
