A post from Ubud, Bali, Indonesia. I came to Bali for the first (and last) time around 30 years ago. Like a lot of people, when I think of Bali, I think of Australian teens on schoolies drunk-a-thons, stupid people…
The House of Horrors
Recently, I told my therapist what I intended to do with my family home once both of my parents are gone. “I’m going to knock it to the ground (maybe I’ll torch it), I’ll sell the land, and never travel…
That time of year (again)
It’s that time of year again when A LOT of us ask ourselves the big question(s), and I’m certainly not immune to that need. What are my goals for next year? Having scraped through yet another shitty year, is it…
Everyone is safe
Three weeks in, three weeks out. Longer now, but I wrote these words, longhand, after I’d been out of hospital three weeks. I’m typing them now, with today’s point of view, so you can’t believe anything. What they don’t tell…
Day 20 – October 20th 2018

Day 16 – October 16 2018
Didn’t get my BP taken this morning. Waking up was hard enough. A nurse woke me at 8.10 to remind me to go and take my meds. They like to clear us out by 8.30 but I went back to…
Day 15 – October 15
BP 120/80 – How ordinary Questions for my shrink today: Why am I still here? What do you expect I will learn here? Do you know that nothing has changed in my routine since I got here (except I’m sleeping…
