Loving and appreciative husband of Cathy
Proud father of Anne and Gillian
Previously possessed by the wonderful Golden Retriever, Laddie
Jack of many trades and master of none — “a life-long dilettante”
Bass in The Achill Choral Society
Fifer, pipe and tabor player, and forgetful dancer in Orange Peel Morris
too-occasional canoeist
interested in phenology … bald, and a wearer of hearing aids …

But yield who will to their separation,
My object in living is to unite
My avocation and my vocation
As my two eyes make one in sight.
Only where love and need are one,
And the work is play for mortal stakes,
Is the deed ever really done
For Heaven and the Future’s sakes.

Robert Frost, Two Tramps in Mud Time
