relaxing in the hills
Many months have pasted since my last trip to the hills. My work schedule hasn’t been that permissible this year. It’s kind of a hard sell to the wife to be away all week only…
return from spanish holiday
I’m back in the UK after a week of pure R&R in Spain. We literally did nothing except hang out by the pool, hang out by the beach, eat, read, play PSP, and sleep. OK,…
how many roles?
It’s funny the many roles we play in a day. My train mate (stranger sitting across from me) is a female business woman. From her notes, I’ve gathered that she is a manager of some…
wanderings
I’ve been slow to post these past couple of weeks, mainly because I’ve been out wandering and enjoying a little time off of work. Over the weekend, I was out wandering the Derbyshire Moors with…
folkestone
We are off on a little mini break – some sweet time with the misuses minus the kids. We like exploring different parts of the country from time to time, so I suggested we check…
a time of magic
He walked up to the roof of the hotel to get some fresh air and watch the night sky turn to dawn. The time between dusk and dawn is meant to be a time of…
poor human heart pounding
Poor human hearts pounding everywhere, lying in their beds, walking their dogs, worrying about their future, dwelling on how their life took a wrong turn as they ride the bus to work in the morning. …
get in line
Driving down the motorway at 5.30 in the morning, I can’t help but think we are little more than sophisticated ants. The central government plays the role of the queen ant. We play the role…
can’t get enough sex
I am sitting in a greasy roadside diner. The smell of cooked fat sits heavy in the air. I know that when I leave here, the smell of grease will have crept into every fiber…
the ugly one
She was the ugly one. The guys never wanted the ugly one. She sat and watched her beautiful blond-haired blue-eyed bombshell of a friend garner all the boys’ attention. They had no idea what they…
where can i be now
views from my hotel: I some times I get disoriented from all the traveling up and down the country I do. Especially when I work with multiple clients on projects that require different skill sets. …

“The past is what you remember, imagine you remember, convince yourself you remember or pretend you remember.” – Harold Pinter — I spent the day in Glastonbury yesterday. I went to visit an old friend…
the travelers road
I said goodbye forever to an old friend this weekend. We’ve been through a lot together. I once saved him from being eaten by crocodiles and he once saved me from losing and eye during…
home sweet home
Home sweet home. I’m finally back from my 19 day road-trip around Europe. I’ve gotten so used to the rhythm of the road that it is now a bit of a shock to the system…
hitting the dusty trail
OK. Finally I have done every thing that needs to be done before I hit the dusty trail. The plan is to hobo around Europe for 3 weeks mit packed out 4×4 and tent. I…
how do you get to know a city?
I’m in Newcastle for the next couple of days. This is my first visit. I’m not quite sure what to make of the place yet. It’s been less than a day so I’ll reserve my…
morning wandering
I decided to go for an early morning walk. I like to watch a city wake up. Even at 5am London is alive and pulsing. Workers are turning up to the big department stores to…
to-ing and fro-ing
I can see how easy it is to be surrounded by hundreds of people and yet still feel lonely. I am sitting outside a coffee house on Oxford Street watching all these people walk past. …
ambling down the River Wye
It’s the start of another glorious week. I’m feeling more centered and grounded moment to moment. I meant to post this yesterday, but by the time I got home and had some chow, I was…
