Guess I've been on here long enough that I should put something on this page....

Been reading SF since about 12 years old, getting hooked with my first Conklin anthology (still looking for that one). Educated in the sciences; worked over 30 years in telecommunications, now doing something I like: finishing carpentry. Handy when shelves/library addition(s) are needed, which seems almost monthly.

Stumbled on this site quite by accident and used it as a source for many months before realizing I could add to it!!! Bet the current moderators rue that day....! LOL!! I appreciate everyone's patience with a neophyte bibliographer.

No set goals for my possible contributions; maybe some will become clearer once I get through my collection at least once. I think getting rid of duplicate entries/records would be something to attack one year!

On a temporary note: I will be off here for about six weeks as I am having heart surgery in two days and because I live out in the bush on an acreage and can't drive for six weeks will be spending that recuperation time away from my books. Cheers!--Bluesman 17:05, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

The operation was a success AND the patient lived. Mending magnificently, though that will not shorten the time before I'm back editing regularly. Cheers!--Bluesman 21:18, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

My surgeon was so impressed with my recuperative powers he gave me back my driving privileges two weeks early, so I am back to bug everybody...er...start editing again! Lucky me. And I feel almost like new.--Bluesman 20:35, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
