About Me
I have spent 22 of the last 29 years in the USA (but still have an English accent!), mostly in the NY Metropolitan area, but also lived in El Paso and New Orleans. Also worked in Dublin and Boston for a few months. I am a divorced father of two college kids, Sean and Hannah, now happy and deeply involved with the wonderful Jan. I have a keen eye for beauty and the absurd and perhaps a slightly different take on some things - you decide from what you read. I am a die hard fan of Tottenham Hotspur - as always, looking forward to next season! I am in IT, but was a London bus driver for 2 years. I have published my Diaries of a (London) Bus Driver, which chronicle a particularly rough period in my life and were written between 2003 and 2005. The link on this page will take you to these Diaries and several other articles I have written over the last couple of years, including ‘You are not me – the root of all conflict’, articles on cyber-dating and my take on the Iran/Nuclear debate. I have two blogs: Scene and Heard in New York and Not on the Obama Bandwagon, the last of which I will probably delete shortly, as I am now very much on his bandwagon!
If your whole body were a hot air balloon, would you stop eating spicy food?
No! I think that between spicy food and plenty of roughage, I could soar to unimagined heights!
