I’d like to make a road trip across the European continent, spend a Christmas in Moscow,
and dent my car on the Great Wall of China before turning around and driving home again…love it
I’d like to help you Mick. Some of your list is your responsibility; I can’t get married
for you (BTW, who is that lady that appears in some of your pictures if she’s not your
wife?) and I can’t give you a year off work; but I can help with the novel.Right, first you need to decide to write it. You have to make the decision. It’s not
enough to say, “I’m going to write a book”, you have to believe it. Then you make
a reasonable assessment of the time required; let’s say that 1 hour a day, 5 days a
week would add 2,000 words; maybe 100,000 words make a novel so it’ll take one year
to write.Now you need to find 1 hour a day when you can get peace and quiet, but you also
need to give up something less important to you. Start with computer gaming, TV,
internet browsing and time-wasting (e.g. in my case, sudoku, crosswords etc.). For
most people it’s easy enough to find an hour but you have to remember to substitute
the hour, not ADD it, because that leads to stress. Then just have the discipline to stick to
your plan.I look forward to reading your book.
I picked on you because one item on your list made a good example Mick.
My point was that we all say we’d like to do things, but inertia often stops
us. I do a bit of painting, and when I actually make the effort and paint something
I really enjoy it, but I usually say, “I’d like to paint more often”, and sit
in front of the computer instead.I’ll give your trip a miss because cars and travel aren’t my thing. Have fun and post
lots of pics for us stay-at-home types :)1.)Know that my son with Asperger’s Syndrome is happy and self sufficient.
2.)See all my kids through University.
3.)Write a novel.
4.)Take one fabulous photo.
5.)Visit Cairo and Budapest and Prague and Sarajevo.
6.)Learn Farsi (I failed my first linguistics class in University..which derailed my plans but sent me on another adventure which still makes me determined to go back and master Farsi.
7.)Learn to make cheese.
8.)Adopt more dogs and cats.
9.)Climb more 14’ers here in Colorado. There are about 54, so I have 53 more to top.
10.)Truly help someone and not know that I did.1 – Be my own boss
2 – Visit South America and Africa
3 – Learn a language ( properly )
4 – Get a shot published – just one I’m not greedy
5 – Meet that someone special ( hmmmmmm )
6 – Teach my rats to stop biting me
7 – Go to more gigs ( see Tom Waits )
8 – Teach my future new nephew to take pictures
9 – Learn how to take picture
10 – Make a differenceExpresbro wrote:

Oi – You be nice to Cagney and Lacey or I’ll train them to bite you and you alone.
They are both female one is fair coloured and the other is darker.
It makes sense when you see themWhat doesn’t make sense is that you watched Cagney and Lacey :shock: :shock:
