Bullies
I’ve just gotten back from teaching on the Isle of Man. It was so great. An amazing land, it feels old. Incredible people there too – if I didn’t have a family to return to, I’d have stayed longer. Here’s a quote I found on the way home:
My bungy jump failure
One of the proudest moments of my life (in hindsight) was walking away from a bungy jump. Darn computer wants to change it to “bunny jump.” That’s a whole new thing altogether, isn’t it? I was just writing about the very thing below in my book. It is so close to being finished I can

Want to wake up the easy way or the hard way?
Lance Armstrong, that incredibly driven cyclist character, once said something about perspective and attitude. Now he’s is probably second best known for his recovery from cancer, but about that he said:

Surviving your own family
So how was your Easter? Thought I’d say hi — I don’t have any message for you, nothing about rebirth, new starts, choosing to hit the reset button and begin again any time you like. Nothing like that. You can take something from that list if you like though, for sure! I had a couple

The wisdom of a child is a wondrous thing
Every morning I sit with Bubba and have breakfast. I used to cover her in a kind of backward shirt so she wouldn’t get food stains all over her, now I cover myself. Proximity to someone who is learning how to throw is a dangerous business. <—- This one IS trouble, I can tell you.

Facebook is evil! (perhaps)
People are currently talking about Facebook and how addictive it is. They’re talking about how impressionable (young and old) minds are being swayed this way and that. They’re talking about how perhaps Facebook should be forced to do this and that, and perhaps generally not be so interesting. Maybe. I’m trivialising and being dramatic. All at

Stop it!
If there is one thing I could tell my younger self, it would be the following. It would save so much heart ache, stress and delay I can’t tell you how much. I feel it’s possibly very important for you too, that’s why I sat down and tapped this out. So pay attention – yes,
