http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/fishingintheriversoflight/We live in a world of distractions. I'm interested in what's going on behind those alluring, shifting curtains that mask reality. But this has more to do with what I'm doing / thinking about in the ever-shifting 'right now'.hourly12000-01-01T12:00+00:00http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/fishingintheriversoflight/429633We had a class day! Mum cooked the turkey and roast potatos and brought them round. T cooked all the veggies. T's folks brought two raspberry trifles. And we all sat round the table, Little Sam included, and ate a hearty meal. Then it was time for pressies, which were opened with Sam dressed as...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/fishingintheriversoflight/425774I'm going to start writing out my goals for 2007. I'm going to write them in the present tense, as if they're already achieved and we're already at the beginning of 2008. I'm going to make them specific, and stretching. And then I'm going to achieve every one of them. I know this, because I...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/fishingintheriversoflight/424751It's been a while since I last posted here - a month, to be precise - and that's not like me. But I have been very busy - honest! I'm trying to buy a house in County Durham - not to live in, but to sell on at a profit. I've been running leadership training workshops all over the country, which...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/fishingintheriversoflight/417996I'm delighted to say that, right on his 10-month birthday, Sam has started to walk. Now, this is not entirely unaided. He's been on his feet for a month or two now, getting better and better at pulling himself up, first holding my hands, then onto the edge of his toy box, and now on anything that...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/fishingintheriversoflight/417377Our little family have been away on a little holiday! Yes, we took ourselves off to the Lake District for five days, staying with friends in a rented house near Appleby. The friends are a couple, Mike & Noelle, and their two daughters who are eight and eleven. The idea behind the trip was to have...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/fishingintheriversoflight/415040Don't lie to me now - you KNOW you have! A passive income is one for which you don't need to sell your time on an hour-by-hour, day-by-day basis. It doesn't mean you don't have to work for it - that would be ludicrous. What it does mean is that you can 'front-load' the work, and then sit back...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/fishingintheriversoflight/413149I flew to the south coast last week to do a days work, facilitating a tense meeting between the top guns of two companies who had a contract with each other which is not going particularly well. It was a good day, and we came out with some good outcomes, but boy, was it intense! I had to head...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/fishingintheriversoflight/410602I don't play golf, and I don't follow golf, but while I've been away, Europe won the Ryder Cup. Again! It turns out that the USA has lost five out of the last six Ryder Cup tournaments, to which I only have one response. BWAAAAA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! From a more adult...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/fishingintheriversoflight/408585I never used to like wearing hats. I never thought of myself as a 'hat person'. But I did like the Greek fishermans hat I bought in Santorini while on holiday there with my Dad, aged 18. I finally left that on a train at Kings cross, and it was never seen again. I did replace it with one I found...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/fishingintheriversoflight/408060Last weekend I took my little family motorcycle racing. T has been to one British Superbikes meeting with me a Croft Park last year, and Sam has never been to anything vaguely motorsport-ish, and we decided that the International Gold Cup meeting at Olivers Mount in Scarborough was a good place...
