He is at the age where "Interactive" can be replaced by ACTIVE (in capitals). It was misty coming into Venice. The Emirates plane seemed to be floating endlessly down through a sea of grey, whispy cotton fluff. At the last second the mist lifted and we bumped down on the tarmac.

Although I have flown into… Continue

4:50am

I just put the water on for coffee it's 4:50am here on the east coast - got up early and needed to get working too much to do and not enough time to put it all into action. Here is to a good mug of coffee and a great day.
