This paper tells my recollections of half a century of computing in Canada and, briefly earlier, in two other corners of the world.

I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Dr. Susan Stepney in September 2006, on the occasion of the Fifth International Conference on Unconventional Computation (UC’06) held at the University of York in the United Kingdom. I learned a great deal at that conference co-chaired by Dr. Stepney, enough to motivate me to organize the sixth edition of that conference series the following year in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. This chapter relates my adventures in unconventional computation and natural computation, and offers some recollections on the path that led me to nonuniversality. It is dedicated to Susan in recognition of her contributions and in celebration of her 60th birthday.
