Ireland Photo Rally and Horizons Unlimited
It’s taken a few years, but I finally managed to get enough money together to take a ride… not another major 6 monther, just a 10 day trip, but an adventure isn’t dictated by time, nor destination, but by what you experience along the way. Ireland proved to be an adventure, if a somewhat damp…

Stagnant
Not much to inform anyone about. Still in limbo really, looking to make life altering changes asap, but it’s not looking promising. Ex is still pretending there was never a marriage and that her “life/age issues” aren’t the reason she ended the marriage, but as long as she can live with lying to herself she…

and on and on.
And so it perpetuates itself. The lies will get progressively bigger and bigger no-doubt, as justification is sought and people are sought to be on one side. If only a truth was told and an admission to oneself that the consequences of the actions were purely selfish, then matters could move on. It’s so very…

Civility, the tea trip continues.

Closed

In summary, what an…

Milestone reached.
well when I set out on this trip I expected to pass a number of milestone, but I never expected or indeed wanted to reach this one. The State of Washington today officially ended my marriage to Karen. Now the Karen of today certainly isn’t the Karen I married, far from it, but if she…

doing a presentation at Horizons Unlimited’s UK Autumn meeting
Here’s the trailer for a talk I’ll be giving next weekend at Horizons Unlimited. Entitled “The wrong Amazon” it tells how instead of reaching the Amazon and enjoying riding around, because of Karen, I ended up working for Amazon and packing boxes full of books written by people who did complete their adventures without getting…
