Hello Mucatters and Guests, Before I bury myself deeper into the threads, I thought it best to introduce myself to you all. My "real" name is Peter Woodruff aka wdyat12. I live in Bath, Maine with other Mudcatters. I'm 53 and work as a maintenance mechanic at Bath Iron Works. I taught art with middleschoolers for several years until I had a nervous breakdown. I'm playing hooky from work tonight waiting for my pipes to thaw out. I lost my furnace a month ago and have been heating with wood. You can catch my debut on Episode 65. I fell off Anet Station on Musicmatch and landed here on Realplayer. Please don't ask me how I did that, but I'm glad I did. Mudcat Cafe Radio is the greatest show on the planet as far as I'm concerned. As we get to know each other better, you will see that I enjoy a good laugh, but I also have a serious side (not a mean serious side). I will contribute as much relevant information to the show as I can. My immediate interests include good friends, good music, and good wine. Not necessarily in that order. I can't spell good and I rarely proofread, but I will if I'm told to do so. Other interestas include playing my guitar, my computer, archaeology, scuba diving, hiking, photography, painting, fishing, enjoying other peoples' pets, and creative no mess bachelor cooking. TV almost ruined my life, so I go other places now. I'm currently writing chapter two of my steamy, trashy internet romance unless I'm told not to do so. I would like to thank everyone who steered me to this thread. wdyat12
