Travels

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” - Mark Twain

ABOUT THE SITE

​

Hi there! Depending on the day, I'm an aspiring guitarist, gardener, business consultant, writer, world traveler or carpenter, and this is my website.

 

I live in Surfdale on Waiheke Island near Auckland and am live-in staff to a great wife named Kathryn and a black lab named Makana.

 

Thanks for stopping by. Not many do, so you’re special to me.

Writing

Ocassionally I write in long form, generally in fiction. Excerpts from two novels and links for downloading the complete novels are on the Writing page. In the future, I hope to add some short stories.

Somewhere in Central Otago, NZ

Thoughts

 

Posts by others and me that amuse, incite, or madden can be found here. Not really a stream of consciousness, it's maybe more like an intermittent dribble.
