Ex-Tabula Rasa

I shall try to define myself in a sentence with a pithy comment at the end:
I'm just an English bloke who lives in Canada after marrying a Canadian lady he met while living in Japan. Yeah, that old cliché.

Shameless Self-Promotion:
My utterly hilarious blog is here
And another one is here

Wow! I'm on Twitter now!
Averaging three stars a tweet since the death of Favrd!

Still Want More?
Email me for fun and frolics*! My address goes along the lines of Japanese (dot) smoth (@) gmail (dot) com. *Actual ratio of fun to frolics may vary.

“Maybe it’s time TV detectives took a brief sabbatical anyway. There surely aren’t many interesting defects left for them to struggle with. We’ve had alcoholism, depression, OCD … What’s next?

So here is the second in my series of Daily Lyrical Inspirational Quotes:

Don’t you play with my nose I might (atchoo) sneeze

- Mister Boombastic, Shaggy
