Welcome...
...to my little corner in cyberspace, home to a collection of admittedly old-fashioned websites I've been building since 1996. Please pull up a chair and sit a spell, as there are literally thousands of pages to explore.
- David Builds a Home presents the long, rocky saga of building my own house.
- David’s Modeling Journey details over 50 years of model railroading adventures.
- Grumpy Art is my small contribution to the world of caricatures. Please, no flaming.
- Grumpy Old Fart's Film & TV Reviews are guaranteed honest and to-the-point.
- The Avengers Forever is about the cult British 60s TV series, not the superheroes.
- Nightscape: A Memoir is my life in a nutshell, just in case anyone was interested.
Please note that Grump Central is the only site I'm still maintaining. All of the rest have been locked and archived.

It's quite disconcerting: I can feel my life inexorably
ebbing away. I'm conferring with friends to make sure everyone knows exactly what to do and when; some are not liking the process, but it
is necessary. In any case, all of my i's are dotted and t's are crossed, so there shouldn't be any issues when the time comes. I'm not frightened
of death in the slightest, but I am admittedly a little anxious about the experience—after all, it's not something I can do over. Lately I've been listening to Steve
Roach's The Magnificent Void
quite a lot, not because I expect the experience to be anything like Roach's truly otherworldly soundscape, but because the music and
especially the title captivate me.
