My name is Tim Morse I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, my hometown.  I am a full time employee, working at the  Supreme Court of Nova Scotia (I have a bachelor degree, in Political Studies, and a law degree).

I am married with 1 son and 2 step daughters. My son just started his first year of an engineering degree.

My youngest step daughter is a trained hairdresser with two young daughters of her own. My wife is a high school math and science teacher who is presently teaching at an international school in Africa. I have little ex
