Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

I hope it worked
I did a microlight lesson about 20 years ago, it was a great experience. Much better than flying a Cessna because you get a real feeling of being outside. They're pretty safe too, if the engine runs out of fuel or stops, you just glide back down to terra firma.
I've got another 6 and a bit years till I'm 50 and have done a lot of the things I wanted to do before I was 50. I've always believed in doing things instead of just dreaming about them, the only excuse that counts is lack of money. I don't want to be on my death bed thinking to myself, I wish I had done that or done this.
In my earlier years a lot of my goals centred around cars and travel, I've done cars to death now and have owned a couple of full blown Italian supercars, I'm not really bothered about that anymore. Travel is my main obsession and some of the more unusual things I want to do are along the following lines:
Travelling the entire length of Eurasia overland
Travelling the Pan Pacific Highway from Tierra Del Fuego to Alaska
Visiting some of the 10 tallest buildings in the world (including, the Burj Tower, Taipai 101, Petronas Tower....etc) Fortunately I did the WTC in 1993
The only continent I have never visited and have absolutely no desire to visit is Africa.
My ultimate goal is to have set foot in at least 100 different countries by the time I'm 65.

His friend apparently passed his driving test today, and my son announced that he was going out in the friend's car with him this evening.
Both boys are 17 years old.
Am I a worried dad ?

Looking for a personal mantra as you prepare to tee off down life's back nine? How about this one: Habits kill. By now, you may have seen more of other parts of the world than you've actually seen of your own hometown because you've been a good little Pythagorean and mastered the straight line between A and B and never got beyond point C.
But now is the time to get lost, at least metaphorically. Take that road you've never taken. Go to work by bus instead of train. Or get really radical, and walk somewhere. Mix it up. And be sure not to plan too much. It takes all the fun out of it.
