Written by on 1 Comment

On Thursday I took the day off. I wish I could tell you it was spontaneous but I don’t really do spontaneity. The day off was mooted on 25th September and the earliest date I could find in my diary which wouldn’t upset anyone else’s plans with me was 9th October. Make of that what you will.

Written by on

So The Void begins in November 2009, continues through December, January and most of February. During our monthly meeting of The Creation Experiment in November, I announced to the rather startled members of my own personal Woo Woo team that I knew in my heart of hearts that I wanted out of another project in which I was involved.   I had no idea how that was going to happen at that date and I was rather surprised to hear those words come out of my own mouth.   Others were not.   But that project was very much alive at that point, […]
