Although it's brought me that much closer to transforming into worm food, I've found that turning sixty is not without its compensations. While it's true, for example, that my member isn't getting a proper supply of blood anymore-and that I can no longer write my name in the sand and must settle for my initials-I can still have lots of fun with it. Thanks to a prostate gland the Museum of Humongous Prostate Glands has already put in a bid for when I buy the farm, my urine stream now bifurcates at the exit point. This means that I can pee into the toilet and the adjacent bathtub at the same time-which is a kick. My urologist says that while he can make no promises, there's a good chance that in the...

I can recall from my days in England, watching television at Christmas and seeing how others celebrated across the world. At one time I used to think about people in Australia, who seemed to be featured on the news every Christmas Day: "it's not like Christmas, hot weather and going to the beach". Why I used do think like that I really do not know. I did not like the cold once I got past the age of about 30. Or was it 35? Who cares, I hate the cold now. That's one of the many reasons I live in what many call paradise: Palawan, in the south west of the Philippines. Being a predominantly Christian country, Christmas is a big occasion in the Philippines. It is also still a religious occasion, which of...

Just a few days into my 4 week overseas adventure I was packing my bags and moving on from my brief experience of life in Thailand. Next on my list were the epic sights of London, England. Leaving through the airport in Bangkok was absolute chaos, they were building another airport at the time to accommodate for increased numbers and judging by my experience it couldn't come soon enough. The lines at the baggage collection and check in were crazy, it took me a while to realize that there weren't actually any lines and it was just every man for himself. This was very stressful and a lot different from what I'm used to in my home country of New Zealand. After fending off enough other travelers to...

I am 22 years old. I have a very good job as a Field Engineer with a very large, well-respected company. I have responsibility now, and I guess it's time to start growing up.

Sometime in the late 1980's, my father brought home an Apple II GS, and it came with a huge stack of 5.25inch floppys loaded with some of the best entertainment I had ever experienced. Mission Impossible, Conan, Wings of Fury, Marble Madness, Olympic Winter Games, and BounceIt were just a few of the games that molded me into a 2D gaming aficionado. In the mid-1990's, our family purchased a computing powerhouse in...

It's one thing to be able to teach a child to read, but it's quite another to teach a child to love reading. Early reading therefore doesn't just involve teaching your child to recognise letters, sound out words and put them into sentences, but must also be concerned with fostering a love of books, words and the written language.

As the mother of young children, I have fantasized about the perfect winter get-away. My children, now 8 and 10, are fairly independent, but winter activities, be it skiing or sledding, inevitably require extra effort on the part of parents to assist. Socks pulled up, pants leg down, snow pants up, inner pant leg back up, so pull it down, left ski boot on, right ski boot on, left one hurts, left one off -- Add to that the necessity of driving from hotel to ski rental shop, a shuttle to the slopes and back again, and a "relaxing" winter family vacation becomes nothing more than a different kind of work. Imagine instead a gracious manor house in a valley amidst the towering mountains of Valle 'd...

This makes the site of Winchester Cathedral far older than that of Canterbury. The early church was...
