Chances are that you've come here for one of 2 reasons

1. You're interested in the actuarial program at U of R, in which case you want to head on over to the Prairie Actuary as you may find this blog rather odd,

2. You're interested in my hobby, in which case hold your course on the Singlehanded Admiral, as you may find the other blog a little odd.

Or you maybe related to me in which case you probably know I'm a little odd!

Cheers
Peter
