My name is Cub Lea. I'm 50, single and childless. I live alone in a mobile home on a farm in rural western Canada. 1

I've been a reporter, author, published poet, Jolt-Award-nominated software developer, technical writer, award-winning songwriter/producer, hacker, marketing professional, personal consultant to success trainers and Internet CEOs, rock bassist and singer, humorist and comic, broadcaster, inventor and entrepreneur. 2

I'm currently re-establishing my professional CV after a lengthy hiatus 3, and I'm actively seeking professional representation and career management. 4

Solution to Your Daily Mindtwister:
1: The T-shirt matches the coat.
2: The camera is in focus.
3: The photo is displayed right-side up.

Did you miss one? Most people mistake at least one of the following incorrect items for correct:

• The eyeglasses do not have same-sized lenses. They were purchased at Wal-Mart's Vision Centre.
• I am not leaning against anything in this photo. I am clearly in the process of falling over.
• The calendar to the right of the cupboard door clearly shows the month of February. It only appears to be December in the reflection on the right lens, so the Christmas lights are not seasonally-appropriate. They have fallen out of the cable hook on the wall, and the cable hook is also wrong...it was nailed to the wall of a rental property, and upside-down to boot.
• The sewing machine is using blue thread, not white, on the gopher hankie.
• My facial expression is not appropriate, in spite of the fact that the sewing machine has just been given to me as a gift. The giver is taking the photograph. She will not be spending the night, but I do not know this when the photo is taken.
• A moustache and human teeth and breasts have been pencilled onto the second deer from the top in the framed lakeshore print over my left shoulder. The breasts are also wrong; antlers do not grow on a doe.
• The container behind my left hip does not contain old plastic yogurt tub lids. Those are doll dishes for my imaginary Barbie.
• The thermostat behind my left elbow is obviously turned to 22ºc. If it was actually 2ºc as the photo seems to show, I would be wearing gloves. This also explains why the coat is wrong, even though the T-shirt is obviously just a dickie.
• The ferret around my neck is not napping. It has been drugged.
• The painting on the floor (not correct; I rent, so I don't care about nail holes) does not match the hallway decor.
• The hallway floor gleams (see the reflection of the painting frame), but my clothing clearly reveals that while I'm obviously a bachelor, I can't afford a cleaner.
• A careful inspection of the wood panelling will reveal that it is, in fact, installed upside-down.
• The Altoids in my right cheek is not my last one. I lied because I don't want to share them with you.
• The fact that I am 48 in this photo and do not have crow's feet around my lips is not correct either. I smoked for 35 years. (And you still think vitamin C is a fraud?)
