In Short

Mika Paananen, a husband, a father of one, and a slave to a furry ball loaded with razorblades called Ässä (‘Ace’). A cat, that is. Mika lives in Finland Proper, has been planning to move elsewhere for thirty years and despite a stable marriage, is a bit of a recluse. Having been working in a farm, and as an engineer in computer and telecommunications industries, as well as worked in media, the author has an extremely dim view of the current world and a rather belligerent bookcase. Mika’s greatest points of interest are history, old aircraft and occasional astrophotography.

He has declared that he refuses to grow up.
