    I live in the city of Saskatoon which is smack dab in the middle of Saskatchewan Canada. I am married with one child who is now a Banker(So sad). I am retired from a life in retail and have drawn my cartoon 'Bob's your Uncle' for the last two years. When not 'cartooning' I dable in a bit of poetry. Though poetry seems to be taking over. My favorite poems are Lewis Carroll's 'The Walrus and the Carpenter' and Thomas Hardy's 'The Darkling Thrush.' There was a movie in the 1960's called 'Sweet November' where a women would find a man who needed 'fixing' and would invite him to live with her for a month. She gave the 'November' fellow a task. He had to write a poem... and it had to rhyme. She said that if it doesn't rhyme then it is not a poem. For good or bad... that has always stuck with me. If you ever see the film you will find her character to be absoulutely charming as she has a child like innocense. It's a wonderful film. Holds up nicely. Have a great day my friend.
