I’m now about 10 days out from submitting my body and mind for open heart surgery at St. Vincent’s Private Hospital in Sydney May 7. My parrot will playfully stay at home with this view and an experienced playmate to keep him occupied and in familiar surroundings as well as keeping the house occupied and […]
Livestreaming From A Dying Heart
Following the diagnosis of mitral valve failure in the left side of my heart, the need for open heart surgery to replace it and a triple bypass procedure while they are in there, I am now lined up to enter St Vincent’s Private Hospital to go under the knife in early May with my […]
Somewhere… Over The Rainbow!
My home’s balcony is a palette for magnificent sunrises, wild wind and rainstorms and the beauty that is overlooking Coffs Harbour from high on The Hill. Up at 4:30, I’d departed from Coffs at dawn on the puddle jumper aircraft all masked up. I had a 9am meeting with my incredible accountant of 30 […]
Life v 3.0 in the COVID Age at 70
Getting back into the blog with monthly updates started three weeks ago but took this long to complete. I’m happy to report that I feel at a peak of health relative to my turning 70 and also mentally pretty acute rather than doddering or drooling.

And […]
A Green Parrot Saved My Life
My feather kid Jackson turned 22 this week and I’ve been his companion since he was a couple of months old. I found out his age taking him to his regular avian vet for the past decade for a well bird check, microchip reading, chlamydia blood test and nail clip. As Dr Grabowski has said, […]
Life Is A ReLaunch!
In This World, There Are People Who Live For a Long Time, And There Are People Who Live For a Good Time! You may not have heard from me for a while as I go through another transition. This blog page is the only way to keep up as I doused the fire on Facebook. […]
Book Excerpt: The Basement Tapes
Another excerpt of the almost finished tome. The Basement Tapes is a darker chapter of the book that occurs after a burglary that my ex-girlfriend committed while I was away on the road.
