Tall, Dark, and Mysterious

No one ever warned me about what I was getting into.

Ottawa native, Vancouver resident, teetotaler, mutt with no ancestral ties to the British Isles, and descendant of desert wanderers and peasants from landlocked farming communities who somehow ended up spending an inordinate amount of time in Irish pubs singing drinking songs and sea shanties. Oh, and fiddling, which was supposed be a little hobby that would keep me busy for 20 or 30 minutes at a time, on days when I felt like it. I can quit anytime I want to, I swear! Heck, I quit three times yesterday alone!

I am not: a purist.
