The sizzle of intelligence needed tending lest it start smoking enough to set off the smoke alarm.

Some evenings, Mornings, Evenings are not just that.

They are more.

And we hope always, there will be many more of them.

What is an address?

The US post office advertises that it delivers to every address in the USA.

This happens not to be true. They seem to avoid the “difficult” areas.

But with a WhatThreeWords address everyone can find any location on the planet.

Such a neat idea given that addressing protocols vary so wildly and in some cases don’t even exist.

It’s also amusing to see which three words pop up for any location you find yourself in.

The angled bracket and the fireplace.

They were in front of me.

Cherries, mice, roasted corn and a view.

The finer things.

The things that just happen when you make big demands, forget any expectations, don’t listen to too much advice and follow your gut feeling, your heart and your inspiration.

Everything is really an adventure/obstacle course.

Even if you don’t think it is!

Interesting times. Hot chocolate and the absence of nonsense.

The road of untold riches of immeasurable merit and value.

So sayeth the guru. This one is the oracle.
