Name

Parents named me William Wesley Groleau, after my great-grandfather William Waack and John Wesley.  But for reasons unknown, they always used my middle name, so eventually I became W. Wesley Groleau.  Then when bureaucrats¹ tried to force me to be William W., I had it legally changed to my preference.  At the time, I was too young and naive to realize that one cannot stop bureacratic harassment.

Background

After ten years of electronics, including teaching, I got into software engineering via a short path through technical writing and software test.  Thirty-plus years of software were fun, but now I am retired and can pursue a greater interest—languages!  Dabbled in many; can read several if not too difficult, and communicate (more or less) in a few.  Some post-graduate linguistics, but not the degree.

And now …

My wife² went to heaven without me.  Our sons are grown and doing well.   Therefore, until time to join her, I’m out and about getting familiar with this world.  (Update: 2019, married a lovely lady² I would have married 45 years earlier if we hadn't lost each other's addresses.  So my nomadic lifestyle is temporarily suspended.)
