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 was widowed in June of 2007 when my wife Martha ("Mou") died of breast cancer, and the end of 2007 saw major life changes as the very large computer manufacturer for whom I worked started even more aggressive rifs. The job market was (and still is) very tight, so I am now retired and live out in the country in the Pacific Northwest, where I met and eventually married m'Lady Sandra.

I'm 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.

To learn more, see the following (and yes, this website is way out of date and will someday be updated):

Woodworking - a very grounding hobby
Router and power tool safety - a word to the wise about shop safety. Warning - explicit photograph of shop wound.
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.
Photo album - pics of me, Mou, our dogs and cats, my son Shane and his wife, Lisa
INFP - the results of the Myers/Briggs profiling
Career history - or how I ended up becoming a technical writer and geek

Side note: I'm also very security-conscious when it comes to the net; this is one of my favorite security feeds:
