This is my personal blog site. Started in 1998 it has changed many times. I teach webskills & graphics (freelance) in business & colleges so it’s great to have a place to practice skills. It has also become a place to save my mental health. A place to pour out my thoughts & feelings so they don’t dwell in my head too much. I am not famous, I am an ordinary person with an extraordinary life. I kicked cancer’s arse in 2018. If nothing else if that story helps someone else then it was worth recording it.
