Welcome to...

Kanyak's Doghouse

Presented by Bob & Mine Bragner

Hi! I'm Bob Bragner and this is my wife, Mine.

We're back in our own house on Heybeli Island in İstanbul, Turkey after a ten-year sojourn in the Aegean region that took us first to Foça (ancient Phokaia) and then to Bitez (ancient Pedasa), a little town near Bodrum.

Mine's an archaeologist and published author and I'm a freelance translator, editor, and copy-writer.

Nothing in excess, including moderation.

When, in the course of human events, it finally becomes necessary to do something,

it’s a good idea not to be around at the time.
