MP - 16 THINGS

1-No matter what each day brings and no matter where I am I take a nap – every day.

2-At 23 I started a special event business that ultimately led me to planning and co-ordinating corporate events at the Olympic Games.

3-I retired at 40.

4-One day, bored at home, I thought to myself ‘I’m going to the Mayor’s office to meet him.’ So I did and I was let in. He still calls me.

5-I know who and what I am and am more than comfortable and happy with both.

6-There is a streak of adventure in me and I’ll often test my limits. Flying Trapeze School, learning to fly a twin engine airplane, hiking to the top of the Franklin Mountains one day each week I'm in El Paso…to name a few. Dancing across the mountains on the moon is still on my list.

7-On Christmas Eve 2008 a really cool “gift” arrived in the mail – a contract from a publisher for my first book. (**Update** My book was released October 2009 and remains one of the best selling books for my publisher**) My new book is in production now.

8-When I wanted to learn more about photography I contacted a photographer from Vogue Magazine and the photographer responsible for album/cd covers for Pink Floyd, the Muse, Peter Gabriel, et al. and asked if they would teach me. They both said yes and still check on my progress.

9-A pill I take each and every day keeps me alive and I will continue this until there is a cure, but the virus i have doesn’t stop me from living the way life should be lived.

10-I say what I mean, mean what I say, and expect the same from others.

11-Hope one day very soon we can return to generally good manners, and a sense of style.

12-I end each day thankful, and promise myself the next will be a good one. Typically it is.

13-American born in Illinois, grew up in Tripoli Libya (North Africa), some how ended up in El Paso Texas, but also make my home in London.

14-Think every man should read, learn and take to heart Rudyard Kipling’s poem “IF”
Read It Here

15- I never regret the things I've done only the things I haven't though I rarely pass up an opportunity to have any such regret.

16- To top my list of wishes I would want time to be my friend as in this life there is still so much to dream and discover.
