Born in Montreal, but moved to Winnipeg in my early 20s and have lived here ever since.
I work in the medical transcription department of a hospital, but before that I was a computer technician. I've also worked in public accounting, commodities trading, and a couple of other industries.
When not at work, my main activity is playing woodwinds in concert bands. Saturday morning it's currently flute and alto saxophone, and on Wednesdays I play clarinet (which is my main instrument). I also write, do some gourmet cooking, and maintain a house and garden. Planning to retire sometime in the next 5 years and continue doing all of these activities, and also travel some more.
I'm here because I enjoy the community, and because I have strong feelings about the effects of religion on civil society.
What am I looking for? Knowledge. Lifelong learning, and challenging my own weaknesses.
Both parents deceased. My dad worked in aerospace electronics, and IIRC before marriage my mom worked in a seniors' home. Younger brother is a geneticist and microbiologist. My daughter is a fantasy artist.
No pets currently, but I've had cats (most recently, from 1994 through 2016). I maxed out at 9 cats, including a mama cat and all 5 of her kittens, who became my Dark Legion. The last of the kittens died last year at age 14.

What kinds of instruments?
Is the word "instrument" a really good word in today's climate of politicians and celebrities getting caught with their pants down?
