Throw some words up there...
I'm having a terrible day for getting anything done. My work these days splits fairly equally between meetings (generally on Skype) and reports and emails. The meetings, luckily, are still going well. I seem to have acquired some skill at chairing and facilitating, and generally the outcomes are good. On the other hand, I'm finding it really ( Read more... ) -
I was at an impressionable age...
Now here's a thing - I've always told people that the first single I ever bought was Bat Out of Hell. Apparently, that's complete bollocks, because it wasn't released until 1979, two years after Watching The Detectives. Well there you go ( Read more... ) -

The original plan was to travel Tuesday, prep Wednesday, present Thursday and travel back on Friday. I ( Read more... ) -
I went to Egypt

Hello and Good Bye, as Always
It does feel a little like typing into the void, but then that's how I started, scribbling in notebooks that I never expected to be read, in my early teens.
So this isn't so strange, the idea that what I type will be read by a handful of friends, a large number of Bots, and potential future employers or criminal investigators.
And Lord, it's not ( Read more... ) -
Round, round, get around...
I started this week in Finland, Helsinki to be precise ( Read more... ) -
Shhh...
Isn't it quiet?
