Bursting

some time next month, it will be entirely possible and highly advisable to walk in to a bookstore and pick up a well observed diligently written widely quoted hardback, ok so far not worth holding the front page for; 'bookstore offers book for sale' but look closely at the cover of one in particular, the one with a series of figures with binoculars and observe closer still the author, a certain david b jones. that people we have never met or will probably never know will pour over the pages, reflect and maybe even act on the contents is almost voyuristic, david's words will penetrate the offices and boardrooms of dubai and beyond.

- see someone with the book
- honesy being a twit at home
- inspiration from bike
- toilet read

if you check out the blog linked to this one; 'seemed like a good idea at the time' you will see the aforementioned progress of the two-wheeled geriatrics on their pursuit of the famous john o groats to lands end, not the fastest or indeed remarkable in any public way but so far 750 miles of this island have been peddled by a couple who never peddled before, while the average 60 and 50 odd is contemplating a quite afternoon in the garden these two are slicked up in manmade fibres doggedly following a goal they didn't know until a month ago they had.

if its possible to be actually bursting with pride, then i consider myself suitably and deliciously deflated
