Tales & Experiences

The Road Trip.

In Spring of 1998, I was living in California. I was going to go to an archery tournament in Tucson, Arizona, and decided to take a short holiday and travel by road. This is an account of that trip.

ACL Reconstruction

At the start of 1997 I tore the anterior cruciate ligament in my right knee. After a lot of soul-searching I decided to have a reconstruction operation. This is the story of the effects and recovery from the injury.

SLAP Lesion Repair

Oh no, not again! More surgery, this time on a damaged shoulder. I really don't want to make this a habit.

Greenland for the Unprepared

Why go to Greenland for a holiday? It makes a good conversation point for parties. Here's why I went.

Climbing Mount Rainier

If you live in Seattle, you can see Mount Rainier everytime the weather is nice. It looks very inviting. It is also very hard work climbing it.

Round the World

It's nice to have a job that I can sometimes take a month off. I used up my extra frequent flyer miles flying around the world, with stops in Hawaii, New Zealand, Hong Kong, and the U.K.
