WinesWelcome to The Page of The Gray
Wizard!
This is a tribute to David Bell, a
father, husband, and loving Pop Pop David who was taken
from us far too early. We keep this site alive in honor
of him, to keep us close to him, and to allow others to
get a quick glimpse of who he was. He will forever be in
our hearts.

This site is a repository for the odds and
ends of a wizard's existence. Here you will find
fragments of my private life, tidbits of personal
hobbies and interests, and most of all the published
works of my "Secret Vice", the construction of
artificial languages.

"Help find a missing child"
"Call 1-800-THE-LOST if you can help"
"Support the work of the National
Center for Missing and
Exploited Children"
As can be seen by the menu above, the
Wizard's interests are somewhat eclectic.
I
have been a practitioner of the "Secret
Vice" of constructing languages since I was
a lad many, many years ago. Much of
this site is devoted to documenting the
languages that I have created.

While
amateur astronomy is a relatively new hobby
for me, I am no less enthusiastic about
it. There are currently but few pages
here devoted to my new found fascination
with the heavens, but I fully expect that,
like the universe itself, these too
will expand with time.
|
I
became a Model Railroad enthusiast as a
child when my parent's bought me my first
set of Lionel trains. I have been
fascinated by the hobby ever since.
While I do not currently have a layout
assembled, I have done a significant amount
of work in designing my dream N-scale
empire. If I can but find the room and
the resources in time and money, that empire
will one day rise from my dreams to
operational reality.

A
personal tribute to some mental giants that
have influenced my life.

A page of links to other David Bells
and the interesting things they are up to. |

While my fascination with
the works of JRR Tolkien are not
unrelated to my interests in
constructed languages, it also is a
part of my more general interest in
fantasy literature. While this
site currently only deals with
Tolkien, I expect to add information
about some other of my favorite
fantasy authors including Ursula
LeGuin, Robert Jordan, Terry
Goodkind and David Eddings.
See "Worlds of Imagination"
below. Newly added to this
section are pages dealing with
Tolkien's Quenya and Sindarin.

I have been employed in
the Information Technology industry
for more years then I care to
remember, but computers and computer
software have always been for me as
much of an avocation as they have
been a vocation. These pages
will serve to express those
avocational interests.
|
I have been a devotee of
wines for most of my adult
life. For both my wife and I,
wine has become an important part of
the quality of our lives.
These pages will share our
experiences with you.
