Thai me up!


So, The ticket has been bought - I am off to a rock climbing adventure in Thailand for the majority of May!

I can't wait for the thrill of climbing in Krabi - but, I'm also looking forward to all the wonderful food. Be prepared for a onslaught of tasty Thai treats upon my return...

Rest, Kurt, rest.


Kurt Vonnegut Jr. 1922 - 2007

Vonnegut was the first writer to really inspire me – During my teenage years, his words were things to savagely devour. As I grew older, they became like old friends to revisit time and time again. I am saddened by his passing. So it goes.

This is the final line of my favorite book Cat’s Cradle.

If I were a younger man, I would write a history of human stupidity; and I would climb to the top of Mount McCabe and lie down on my back with my history for a pillow; and I would take from the ground some of the blue-white poison that makes statues of men; and I would make a statue of myself, lying on my back, grinning horribly, and thumbing my nose at You Know Who.
