INTRO - My name is Carlos Costa (short for J.C.Silva Costa) and I
subscribed this list recently; I am Brazilian, 69 in 1996, painter,
divorced, two daughters and one grandson; I live in a studio house
half-way up a hill in Rio where I keep my "toys"; the list is made
of computers, musical instruments and sheet music, carpentry and 
mechanical tools, books, ceramics, paper kites, two worn bikes and
two old cars. A lady house-keeper, a cat, a turtle and plants,
greens and a few orchids, share the house with me.

I have a page - http://www.iis.com.br/~scosta  - for which 
text, illustrations and construction I am responsible. It tells
a wee bit more about my life and not-so-hard times.   
All the best.
