For those of you who thought I dropped off the face of the planet, well, I&#8217;m back!

I live in Fraser Heights, Surrey, BC, and I attend <a href=\"http:\/\/www.peaceportalalliance.com\">Peace Portal Alliance<\/a> church in White Rock (where, of course, I sing on a worship team and in the choir).<\/p>\n<p>In my spare time I practice Taekwondo, read a lot, do research into operating systems and space flight simulation, roller-blade and sometimes I&#8217;m even seen <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fatcityswing.com\">swing dancing<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Health-wise I&#8217;m doing great.  No heart problems for the last couple of years, and although I put my back out (again!) rather badly at the beginning of the summer, it&#8217;s fine now.<\/p>\n<p>My bro <a href=\"http:\/\/ktisher.balafon.net\">Kent<\/a> lives in North Battleford, SK, where he&#8217;s launching into a career as a classical singer (he&#8217;s singing <i>Messiah<\/i> with the Saskatchewan Symphony this fall).<\/p>\n<p>My little sister Carolyn is a doctor!
