Why I left it all behind…
Why I left it all behind… Database structures, user permissions, hub configurations, ERP, MRP, Analytic Accounting modules… These were once the common, daily terms that I had to deal with. I was in my late twenties then, the first intimations of mortality already beginning to make themselves known....

Sourdough crepes with banana sauce, walnuts and heather honey…!
Later tonight, a couple of friends are coming in from Athens. They are two attractive sisters that have the odd distinction of each having ‘married’ Sasha and I a few years back. Diana, who is older, was our ‘koumbara’, meaning best wo/man at our civil wedding, which we had for legal purposes. Her...

The evil eye, or how my head almost exploded!
I don’t know if any of you on Blog-land believe in the evil eye, I’m not sure I do, but yesterday was something else! Sometime around 2pm, local time, the boss’s wife asked me for some help with her computer. I helped her out, and that was that. No sooner had I gone back to my own desk, and a...

Too many things to do, too little time…
Ok, I had to take a break for a couple of days. Bloging can really be a heavy monkey on one’s back. I’ve come to enjoy it immensely and look forward to it every day. But the reality of my situation dictates that I take care of other things as well. My new job has really cut into my free time, and...

My psychedelic garden…
I must have been in Greece for about three years, sometime in the fall of 2000. I was in Athens at the time, attending a business meeting. A friend I’d made a few months back had called, knowing I was in town, and asked me to go out with her to a garden show. “Sure!” I said. “Let’s meet around 6pm.”...

Sasha’s and Anel’s birthday today…
It’s strange, the story behind Sasha and Anel. How they both crossed paths with me. How life keeps bringing us back together every so often… Just to stress this inter-linking, it was ordained by the stars above that they should both have their birthdays today… Except that it was also ordained that...

When the guy is next door…
So here I am, tired of pouring over accounting/computer problems, and I thought “Hey, isn’t time I used company time to look up some more agencies?” Sure enough, I did just that. Before long I hit on a Toronto based agency that has sub-agents all around the world. The joint looked serious, so me...

The sunrises…
I’ve had to get into the nasty habit of getting up at 7 am, everyday from Monday to Friday. That takes its toll on your chunk of writing time. For me, 10pm to 3 am is literary prime time. The DJs settle down to funky grooves, Lykonas is curled up somewhere and people know to leave me alone. Now, 10...

How things look right now…
Lykonas must be dreaming. I look at his trembling paws. There’s a rhythm to their movement. He’s running wild through soft, grass covered fields…maybe he’s the leader of a pack…or just chasing a stick I’ve thrown for him, in the forest… Sasha is reading a book. She’s leaning against the radiator, a...
