I'm here because it's a place where I want to be.

What do I do with my life - still pondering that, keep exploring the possibilities I suppose...

I do have another more personal moblog Vivupclose

Take a look at my daughter Beth's website...

food for thought...

Everyone, in some small sacred sanctuary of the self, is nuts. -Leo Rosten, author (1908-1997)

We think caged birds sing, when indeed they cry. -John Webster, playwright (c. 1580-1634)

There are two kinds of light -- the glow that illuminates, and the glare that obscures. -James Thurber, writer and cartoonist (1894-1961)

The artist brings something into the world that didn't exist before, and he does it without destroying something else. -John Updike, writer (1932-2009)

Some people become so expert at reading between the lines they don't read the lines. -Margaret Millar, novelist (1915-1994)

There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest. -Elie Wiesel, writer, Nobel laureate (b. 1928)

I once helped my friend sweep his chimney, not being professionals, and never having done it before, it was one of the most unpleasant experiences of my life.

Eep - we got a lovely old man who's swept chimbleys all his life (and he was OLD) in to sweep ours, it was only about £20 and very cool. He was a very cheerful man, full of a million stories!

Alan's a b... for doing everything himself - got the brushes - use them - at one point we lost the brush and half the extensions up the chimney as an extension came unscrewed!

It's always worth getting a professional in for these jobs. Great photo essay, though!
