BioI'm variously known as Robert, Bob, Rob, Robby - sometimes even Bobby (yikes!). My partner Meirion (![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
emjaybaxter) and I moved from downtown Toronto to the middle of nowhere twelve years ago. Home now is Warkworth, Ontario, a little farming community of about 700 people. It's about 100 miles north-east of Toronto. I usually call Warkworth Nanookville in my journal; not sure why, but it seems to fit.
Until last year, we lived in a big old Victorian farm house on fifteen acres outside the village. We built a smashing new house on seven acres just up the road from there in September, 2008. Our pets are a big part of our lives - a chocolate lab, Dougall, and a basset hound, Dudley, both of whom are regulars in this journal, when they are not busy drinking out of the toilet. Also a white cat, Freddie, who isdeaf hearing impaired.
I'm past-Chair of our regional AIDS service organization, a past-board member of the Canadian AIDS Society, amongst many other volunteer positions and am still actively involved in AIDS activism at the provincial level. I'm a frequent and sometimes coherent public speaker on the subject of HIV/AIDS. I'm sort of fairly well known in the gay mens' HIV prevention community in particular.
I'm a bit obsessive about photography, although not as good as I'd like to be - or even think I am (ha!). The fruits of my labours appear here daily anyway. Believe it or not, I've had my work published in book form, as well as in many local and national publications.
