I remember the early days of my guitar infatuation. Back then (circa 1960), the only places you could hear live guitarists was the local 'youth clubs'. These were often a local hall hired out for a few hours and a small charge at the door to let you in.

It occurred to me that since birth, most of us have been “task-driven”, and so it was natural that we should take that concept into our adult lives.

It's been a heck of a year for this particular middle-aged baby boomer.  I awake each morning and feel confused. What have I been? What am I now? What should I be now? What do I want to be after today? Why do politicians look so young ? ...well, compared to me.

Sometimes I want to be 5 years old again. So much, that it physically hurts.

Then I remember that I hated every day of school. I seem to have been worrying about what I should be just about every day of my life - and yet looking back again, realizing that it really didn't matter.

As I play my very expensive prs johnny hiland guitar - I found myself thinking about the first musical instrument I ever owned - a guitar. I made it myself. Back then, parts for guitars were hard to find, so I had to be very creative.

It was certainly an easy to make homemade musical instrument - but it took many weeks of my time. All it needed was care and attention to detail - any home hobbyist would easily have the skills to do what I did...

What a Great Day! My wife just learned to swim. In her late 30's and from the Philippines, she never had the opportunity to swim as a child. When we married a handful of years ago, I was determined she should learn.

Twelve months ago we moved to Monte Pego in Spain, and when not on business trips, I got busy helping her to gain confidence in our pool.

Put it this way, if you had toothache, would you get a book on it, get a pair of pliers out and start extracting??  No, you would go to the dentist - an Expert. So why would I want to become an expert in IT stuff?  Best use my valuable time doing what I do best.
