It's as if the Universe(God/The Is/Insert Fave Deity Here) says "Oh, you really want to do it? Oh, well ...in that case...". I just hope the Universe wants you to sing jazz in Madrid some time.

I have been meaning to send you a comment, so could not resist after reading your blog “Boldness, genius, power, magic and other stuff” (admitedly a couple of days after you wrote it) Very glad to see the world according to soldier [Murray] as well as the Goethe quote strikes a chord. Thats why I do what I do for a living and why I am the way I am. Keep going - you never know whats round the next corner. Once you "begin it" - if its good embrace it, if it's not punch it on the nose and move on. xx A most interesting read (by the way I concur with Sarah W).

Keep going - you never know whats round the next corner. Once you “begin it” - if its good embrace it, if it’s not punch it on the nose and move on.

The comedian was telling how he had a flat around the corner from Carnegie Hall. Says it was the easiest place to get to that he'd ever lived. Just told him friends to practice, practice, practice, then turn left. Hahahhaaaa. Made me laugh, just now again. Love this post, btw. You're absolutely right. Dunno whether it was my friend Go Heth. But it sure is a good idea. Great news about Indonesia and taking over the London agency thingy. WIsh I was on the beach with you my friend. xx Reminds me of a gag I heard the other day.

Man 1 asks our hero about one of the IRA members in the bar: Man 1: "Why is he called Sticks? Is it cos he's the expert on dynamite" Our Hero: "No, you're spelling it wrong. It's cos if you cross him, you're dead!" You need to know your Greek mythology but I liked it and so did Jim and he used in it his (finished) novel. I got over it though.
