Welcome to my twisted little world!

• Here are some fascinating things about me
• I have a family
• I have a lovebird, lots of fish and a cat
• I have a boyfriend

3
These are my parents. They kayak a lot and are
in much better shape than I am. Dad builds all
his own kayaks, and Mom makes sure they dont
forget anything when they go out for their week
long paddles in the rain.

This is my dad and my two beautiful nieces,
paddling on Shawnigan Lake.

The Whole Fam-Damily!

• The fuzzy guy on the left is my oldest brother
  Ed. His two daughters, Elly and Liz, are next to
  him. Mom is at the head of the table, and next to
  her is my brother Chris and my sister Marie.

Another important member of our family is our
cat, zipper.
This is zipper, doing what he does best.
7
My dad often flies a jolly roger off the back of
his kayak and keel-hauls any scurvy dogs that
come his way.
Atop this dread pirates head is one of the loves
of my life, Dean.

Dean is a snarky little beast who also answers to

• Bugaboo
• Boogie
• Stinky bird
• Whos-a-good-boy!
• Any combination of the above.
• E.g. Oh youre such good stinky bugaboo boy!
  Yes you are! Whos my stinky winky boogie boy?

This is Liz, Boogie, me and Elly. Behind Lizs
head is one of my fish tanks, which is always in
need of cleaning.

My wonderful boyfriend

• At this point in the presentation, the human love
  of my life is starting to feel a little bit
  ignored because he has been usurped by the bird.
• So ladies and gentlemen, a healthy round of
  applause for my other lovebird James!

11
James, meet everybody. Everybody, meet James.
12
James and I enjoy taking long walks on the beach
13

• ...and we also enjoy playing with the dead
  carcasses of the creatures that we find on the
  beach.

14
James has a nice gallery of photos that can be
accessed from his website. Click on the freaky
eyes to look at his pretty pictures.

In Conclusion
My ambition in life is to be able to fold shirts
as perfectly as this lady.

Thank you all, and have a fantastic day!
