Hi all... glad to be part of
this event
and I hope to meet many new friends. I'm Director of Curriculum Development at [http://www.tru.ca/open Thompson Rivers University, Open Learning Division]

Guitar is definitely up there - I've played in bands and have a number of guitars that are like extra limbs to me!
Also snowboarding and off-road cycling...when the weather permits.
Cooking is definitely fun, especially with a glass of wine close by and good music on the stereo.
