I’m reminded how lucky I am every time I travel. I’m reminded of the beauty around me. I’m reminded that hard work has afforded me the privilege of appreciation. I’m reminded that my family is special.and I’m reminded that I’m a long way from home when we fly through an electrical storm in a little…

Dawn over LA…. Quite a nice vista on the way to work I think. I’ve been here a few hours and I was going to resist the temptation of working on the computer, however, I do have a few hours to spare before my next flight…. so I’m going to catch up on a little…

Working in the ‘shed’
It’s been nice having a long weekend. I stayed in my jamas, til 4.00 pm on Saturday, I’m glad no one visited. Daylight saving is upon us and I noticed the difference when I was out here in the studio of 4.00 am this morning….. in reality it was only 3.00 am (last weeks…
