So - Who is this Wolf guy?
To find out who I am, you'd have to meet me and get to know me; however, the next best thing is to read my pages; that will give you a feel for the "who". I was born in the Mojave desert; my father was half Choctaw and half Cherokee, and my mother was Scotch-Irish and German. My American Indian name is GhostWolf, and I prefer being called Wolf, though I do answer to GhostWolf and "GW".
I'm a retired senior technical writer, but am also somewhat of an anachronism; it is as if someone had transplanted an early 1800's mountain man into the present hi-tech environment. I am equally comfortable in both worlds; several who know me have noted this. Like the mountain men, I am pretty much a loner - I don't like being around crowds at all, and am most relaxed in the open air far away from the cities. So, you'd be right in deducing that I'm an introvert; INFP on the Myers/Briggs (Keirsey) profile. My hobbies range the gamut from camping, woodcarving, drawing, leatherwork to electronics, photography, and computers.
I'm widowed; my soul mate, best friend, partner, and wife Martha died on June 12th of breast cancer. Martha's memorial website is http://nemasys.com/mjk.
Martha and I first met on the net in 1993, where she used her nickname AMoU (or Mou). Like myself, she was also a technical writer. We lived in San Francisco, and loved the City, its microclimates, and the fog that rolls in during the summer afternoons and evenings (though we disliked the city's politics immensely).
Mou and I enjoyed traveling together, camping, watching many kinds of movies curled up on the couch by our fireplace, reading together, walking our dogs, and more. Our two dogs are Simba and Shasta; Simba is half golden retreiver and half Rhodesian Ridgeback; Shasta is half Bull Terrier and half Austrialian Cattle dog. The cats that own us are are Misha, Harley, and Rascal.
My son Shane and daughter-in-law Lisa live nearby; Shane is now in the Pipe and Steam Fitters union, and is an accomplished auto mechanic; Lisa works as qualitative chemical analyst.

Woodworking - a very grounding hobby

Fishing - a very relaxing hobby, whether one catches fish or not! In mid 2004, my son and I restored a 1960-vintage 16-foot cabin cruiser.
Art - drawings, sketches, and paintings I've done over the years.
