This user has been on Wikipedia for20 years, 9 months and 6 days.

This user has been anadmin for
19 years, 11 months and 1 day.

I first discovered this fantastic resource in May 2005. Amazing how one can navigate unexpectedly fromClinical depression toHairy ball theorem in 2 hours, perhaps one causes the other ...:-) This is the quick way to do it, but it's not the route I used!!

I have now discovered theSymbolist painter Odilon Redon and his fantastic early charcoal works, including the incredibly appropriateCactus Man. Also, check out the utterly brilliantSpirit of the Forest - this leavesMunch for dead. Not to mentionJulio González,cubist sculptor, a contemporary ofPicasso, and his enigmaticMonsieur Cactus.

I am anAdministrator on theEnglish Wikipedia which can be verifiedhere - (my RFA). If you need administrative assistance please leave a message on my talk page.
