The blurb of my life or never let the truth get in the way
My father was an opium smuggler and my mother was a Chinese Princess. They met in the village of Dim
Sum in the province of Krokpot. My father lost his head for his royal dalliances and my mother was
sold into slavery and I was abandoned. Reared by a band of marauding martial arts monks I stared
life a bit slow but by the time I was eight I had translated the Iliad from the original Greek into
Cantonese. I became a ful-fledged monk at the age of ten and my first mission was in OZ. While down
under I was drummed out of the order for turning a secret recipe into a money making venture. I
started a small company Arnotts that made a biscuit and named the product after a mantra that is
used to bring sensual pleasure. From there I moved to America where I hoboed with Woody Guthrie and
let him use the songs I wrote ……..
Ah but the truth is not as exciting I am Grant a father and Husband. My likes are a balance between
arts and sciences. I paint poorly, draw well and can take a very good photograph. I have a rotten
tenor voice but I can read music, carry a tune and can blend so I have been in demand for chamber
choir work. I am a kick ass Gourmet cook and wife has not had to enter the kitchen since we were
married. For twenty-two years I have been a volunteer lecturer at an observatory and a planetarium.
While not a teacher I have won three educational awards for my work in the sciences. I love to read
anything and everything. When I get to live my life as I really want to you will find me wilderness
canoeing with my wife and two dogs. Not much else to tell.
