Posted by on Oct 21, 2009 in Doing Now | 0 comments Yesterday we found out that Buddy, our 10-year-old Labrador’s lungs are riddled with tumours and it is only a matter of time.

Groundhog Day in Reverse

Posted by on Oct 13, 2009 in Doing Now | 0 comments One of the things I love about going for my morning jog is that it gives me a chance to think about the day or the week ahead. As I went around the lake yesterday morning, my head was filled with things that I needed to sort out. I came up with a pile of solutions, plus some new ideas and a few completely new strategies. So much so, that I decided to spend the morning sitting in a coffee shop...

What do you get an 18 year old for his birthday?

Posted by on Aug 17, 2009 in Doing Now | 0 comments There has been a lot of discussion in our household over recent months about ‘becoming a man’ or more specifically, ‘becoming an adult’. The reason for this is my stepson’s 18th birthday. And what do you get an 18 year old for a present these days? A watch springs to mind – but how many teenagers wear a watch these days! I’ve been struggling to remember...
