One of the triggers for my decision to write The Best of You came by happy accident. I had been looking for pro bono consulting opportunities, and I came across Emo Ikede. After a few back and forth messages we agreed to meet for coffee. One of the first ‘getting to know you’ questions Emo... Continue Reading →
Visions are not just for mystics, presidents and evangelists. We can all have a vision of a better, brighter future for ourselves and our loved ones. It’s human nature to seek personal growth and improvement. Sounds too deep? Well let’s look at it this way. Did you ever plan a vacation? Do you have... Continue Reading →
Procrastination. It sounds such a positive activity. How can you not be PRO-crastination! Verb; To crastinate: to dither about doing anything other than what is required at that time. Presumably someone who does everything smartly to time, besides being anally retentive and a colossal bore, should be guilty of anticrastination. As I am a definite Pro... Continue Reading →
Change is positive, change is good. Change is what allows us to grow, to expand our horizons, to seek out new opportunities, to boldly go where no man has gone before (for all the Star Trek fans out there). All true. Without change we would turn inwards and wither on the vine. And yet, every... Continue Reading →
It’s said that if you place a frog in boiling water he will jump out; but if you place him in cool water and then slowly raise the heat, he will not perceive the danger of his changing environment, and he will die.

The words could be written for Milo. Miss that old fella as much as ever.
Overcast, but warm
The perfect day to share
We have always enjoyed our walks together
He and I
No longer young

But the trail is clear and gently rolling
We used to traverse the woods
Over stumps and deadfalls
Ridges and marshes
These days we simply stroll
Enjoying each other’s company
And the sweet musky scent of the forest
Soaking up the moments we have left
For he is getting no younger
I see it in the gray of his whiskers
And the hitch in his giddy-up
He’s always there for me
And I am always there for him
** One of the best dogs I’ve ever had….
"BOING!" said Zebedee, "Time for bed!" Ah, the childish joys of the Magic Roundabout. by that I mean this Magic Roundabout: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3DcChXNyYQ Not this abomination of town planning that the poor people of Swindon have to deal with (as if living in Swindon wasn't bad enough): So who amongst my extensive readership has a single...

Almost there (even if I am a day behind schedule). Time to catch up with a quick daily funny. All courtesy of http://www.youhadonejob.org And the website has many, many more. So what commentary does this provide to the state of our education system, I wonder?
