How I arrived at this site and what I am to do now that I am here are two mysteries for me to unravel and hopefully to solve. Some personal background: I live in Tasmania, Australia, near Devonport, a small regional city where the ferries dock after crossing from the mainland (or, as we Tasmanians call it, "The North Island"). I am about six weeks short of turning 71 years old, and I came here a few decades ago from that aforementioned North Island (what presumption the North Islanders have, to call their edge of Bass Strait "The Mainland" - cheeky devils!) Unlike you talented and industrious authors, I am a lazy and dull old chap, quite content to enjoy reading the works of rising stars such as yourselves. There is an astonishing wealth of bright talent here, and plenty of good yarns, well told, for me to browse through Good luck to you all. |
