One of the more pressing and facile things we do at work is Guest Preference sheets. They provide insights into the whims of the more demanding visitors. Information gleaned is added and amended. They tell us what to expect and how to prepare. I thought I might write one for Ruby. She’s been a demanding […]
I wrote earlier in the month about the pains of making mixes. Given my relatively short stay in New Zealand and a timely internet outage over the weekend, I have managed to hatch El Draco. Giving a mix the name of your Alter Ego is quite an arduous task. Luckily I have some experience with […]
I departed work at 10:30am on Thursday the 7th of January GMT -7. I quickly discovered that the person responsible for our passports had separated my American Visa Passport EST 2009 from my current Passport. Returning back after 15 minutes to my workplace was a little ignominious but I am glad I returned in this […]
“‘Flint had spoken publicly about taking his own life when he was “done”, but said, “I swear to God that’s not suicidal – it’s definitely a positive thing… I’m not frightened of who I am; I just want to look back and know that I’ve lived what I consider a fulfilled life. That’s all. Happy […]
I work weekends a lot. It is a necessary evil and I have developed a couple of evolutionary adaptations over the years to help me cope with what initially was a frightening prospect. Here are a few of my ever so helpful hints. If you are sharing an eating space with colleagues that are not […]

Welcome to my experiment. I have a largely unproven hypothesis which has struck me in moments of clarity. Social media stifles creativity and alters true thought. I first noticed a sinister side to Social media when I found myself getting VERY wound up during the last American presidential campaign. Admittedly it is all too easy to […]
Calm the farm. My trial separation is a month off facebook. A cleverly thought out hashtag #marchout will be explained in due course but the real test will be seeing if I can conjure up more words in cohesive phrases through a semi-regular torrent of splendid prose. But first? Some pictures. Ah, there is that […]
My profuse apologies for the scarcity of content. This blog has been in remission and life had conspired against updating it. Rest assured I have a plan to increase said content. Stay tuned. Last weekend I was to have swum with whale sharks and written about these large creatures. Alas, the elements conspired against me […]
It appears in my clamouring to conquer the known universe I may have left quite a few people in my wake missing me. In the past week, I have fielded two whole communications asking to my whereabouts. These tearful exchanges also pressed the point home. People quite foolishly need more of me in their lives. Being […]
