I was travelling to work on the Tram the other day. What I normally do is I read. The ride in gives me time to catch upon those things that I enjoy and reading is one of those. Luckily I don’t play golf as riding the tram would be of no use at all. There […]
Try this when you next get into a lift with one other person. As you get in, make sure you stand as close as possible to the other person. What you’ll feel is extreme discomfit.
Here is my daughter’s Trailer for The Lottery. She created the Storyboard, directed the film, found the music and edited it all together. I am amazed at the quality for a 14 year old.
I can’t take my eyes off this piece of writing every time I see it. There is an honesty and a vulnerability that is hard to explain. You can almost feel the sense of loss. The pain. It’s frighteningly obvious in the simplicity of the language. You just want to reach out and give this […]

I just had a birthday. It was the first time that I am this old. It is the first time that I had a birthday without both my mother and my father. It was the first time that I had all my family there. My birthday was last Friday. I spent it with all my […]
When both your parents pass away within the same year, it makes you think. You start to wonder what it’s all about; what it means to be a parent.
So, I was walking my dog the other night. It was cold, foggy, and dark, when suddenly she runs off and no matter how much I call she doesn’t respond. I notice she has run down some steps, into an alleyway and disappeared in someone’s doorway. I feel like Nelly Futado in that clip, Maneater. […]
