I felt a bit odd today like I was here but not here. I did manage to open an online trading account which I’ve been threatening to do for a couple of weeks now, and I’ve also started tracking the FTSE 100 again for future options trading. I spent the...

I had a pretty chilled out weekend. I slept off a few beers from my nite out on Friday with the old gang from HSBC. Saturday I spent clearing the massive piles of accumlated junk from my room/office that had significance at the time I collected, but some how has...

My last installment on the Mallorca trip… There were two hightlights from the trip. One was the absolutely terrific view from the Puig Massenella. The other was meeting Margherita or Marga as her friends and family call her. Margherita is Antonio’s daughter. He wanted me to meet her and so...

I set out on day two to explore some of the possible mountain trails we might use for our program. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t really conducive to mountain navigation at least not for exploring new ground. The rain, the low cloud cover and fog would make for some challenging navigation....

I parked the car in the first parking space I could find. I think better on foot, plus I didn’t want to end up parked in the back of someone’s trunk. I randomly walked down a side street. There happened to be a hotel on this very block, but to...

I came to Mallorca to do research for a new place to run the Ascent Experience. As I was alone on this trip, I would also have time to mull over the question of purpose. Pete had opened the door to this inner journey earlier in the week. And now...

The research is going well. Yesterday was a bit of miss because it rained like mad and the mountains were covered in thick cloud…not good for navigating especially on unknown terrain. Anyway the day didn’t go to waste as I drove to most of the trail heads we would be...

Nobody told me when to run I missed the starting gun – Pink Floyd I’ve come to the realization that I have been fighting my purpose which is to write. And it is because I struggle against my purpose I continue to feel adrift in space and time…drifting to some...

A friend of my has generously donated the gift of immortality to me by having a star officially named after me. My star is located within the Orion constellation. The coordinates are RA5h1m57.76s D5 42’28.55″. It’s to the right of the star Bellatrix

I’m heading down to Bristol today to get a little R & R. If the weather hold, I hope to play a little golf with my friend Mike. We only see each other a few times a year, so it’ll be good to catch up. Plus I need to spend...

Jasmine, my faithful mountain bike of nearly 12 years, suffered some serious battle wounds in Saturday’s adventure race. But I must say she did me proud in that she held up until about 2k from the finish line (I rode across on the rim). It tooks us 5.5 hours to...

I’ve been away from the weblog business for some time now. It’s not that there isn’t anything going, on the contrary, I’ve been running around like a blue-assed fly. But my other writing demands have left me with little time to update. But fear not, I am still alive and...

We’re having an absolutely fantastic time in Morzine. I hadn’t realized how close Mount Blanc i would be. It’s nice to wake up and see huge and beautiful mountains out of your window. Well that is all I have time for. Will send more later.

I’m just settling in to a relaxing weekend after a whirlwind of travel over the past week. My travels started off in Wales, running my first ever Ascent program. The event lasted until late Sunday afternoon and culminated in a climb to the top of Mount Snowdon. I couldn’t believe...

My world’s on fire. I’ve been hoppin and poppin over the last few weeks. My trip to Copenhagen was outstanding depsite having to spend most of it in the rain. We arrived Thursday and had originally planned to stay in a hostel just to the north of the city. But...

I’m off to Denmark for a few days. I’ll mainly be in Copenhagen, but hope to get out to the countryside as well as make a ferry trip across to Sweden.

I suppose any of you long time readers of my weblog can tell when I’m going through period of distractions because my entries become very infrequent. I’ve been quite business travelling up and down and across the country over the last month or so, plus things are changing at work…for...

Where have been, and who are these scary men….

Time to clear the clutter…and so I spent the entire day today clearing out my garage which is or was full of stuff I’ve been carting all over the world with me and never using always hanging on to the what if. And I’m sure as Murphy’s Law would have...
