Kem
When Kem was young he liked bourbon, motorcycles and surfing.
Buy books on Amazon
Now that he's older his tastes have evolved and he now enjoys EXPENSIVE bourbon, 4WD Utility Vehicles that have air conditioning and cup holders, and surfing.... when it's not cold.
He is the proud father of 2 naughty children of the adult human variety who are wonderful but deserve their own stories so will not be talked about any more here.
He collects loud shirts, enjoys 'Talk Like A Pirate Day', looks forward to going to the cinema because movie snacks don't count as junk food in his diet (there ARE no healthy options at the cinema!) and would probably be completely lost but he keeps handing himself in to lost property departments at train stations.
