What make a great instructor.
This excerpt, in part was taken from an article in the Artist Daily and I agree with it completely. What make a great instructor. The first trait: the instructor's work has to not only be technically sound but it also has to move you. You can't learn from someone who doesn't believe in their…
History and Culture.
Eugene Manlove Rhodes. I've never heard of him before, but today I joined Dr David Townsend and Mr Pete Eidenbach and about 15 others as they shared poetry and prose written in almost illegible and writing some 80 years ago. He was a story teller of note with an urge to share the world he…
Yesterday was an extraordinary day.
Yesterday was an extraordinary day. I was even too numb to write the blog last night. It was the USA launch of the The Adventures of the Amazing Alphabet. I slept fitfully. What if no one turned up. Do I have enough books? The difficulty was the main delivery, some 2,500 books are still on…

A leap of faith
Written at the event on the trusty Ipad When you travel sometimes you just need to take a leap of faith and join the natives. Those high jumps have landed me in a bit of trouble sometimes but it's also led me to have some amazing experiences. Bullfights in Mexico, elephant rides and crocodile wrestling…
Keith hadn’t visited before so it was nice to see it through his eyes too.
