Bio
After 26 years working as a nurse, ski instructor and therapist in many varied settings around the world, the main lesson in life I have learned is that the biggest obstacle in my life is me.
I have found an answer to the problem of me.

High School
Day 1 There were 200 of us assembled in the school hall. The morning had just begun and I wanted out. There is nothing worse than this, drowning in a sea of navy blue assholes. Everyone had navy blue shorts, shirt, jumper and socks. ‘Hi, my name is Michael’ I offered to shake his hand, but he just looked at me like I was queer. You may wonder how someone looks at you as if you’re queer, well… the corner of his lip twitches as if about to snarl, his eyebrows lower as his eyes focus on their target, and his body pulls away from you as if you’re contagious.
