h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

First of all I'd like to say thank you to h2g2. I've been in the doldrums for a while and now I have a new interest I've found out lots of stuff about lots of things. I'm beginning to learn GuideML and have used some in my introduction. I'm pushing sixty very hard and my brain is a bit on the soft side. I'm in the process of adapting to a new lifestyle/routine as my dear wife has now retired after working a night shift for eighteen years. During that time I was my own man for most of the evening hours and I guess I became a bit insular in outlook. I could have gone to the boozer but preferred to stay at home and either write or play my 5string, although I do admit to sinking the odd can of "spesh" now and again, (I think I play better with a bit of lubrication) So now a new horizon has been met and new challenges are waiting.
