A Thorn Tree Refugee

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes, and ships, and sealing-wax,
Of cabbages and kings,
And why the sea is boiling hot
And whether pigs have wings."
- Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass

I recently joined an online travel community and was required to submit a background profile. My description of my activities and travel destinations since being involuntarily removed from the corporate rat race promptly got me a profile tag "Thorn Tree Refugee" - which I thought was rather apt.

Anyway, my interest in paragliding has kept me somewhat occupied, and is a good excuse for travelling to exotic destinations that provide flying opportunities.

I've also been tinkering with homebrew flight instruments for recreational flying, and sharing the results was the initial motivation for setting up this website.

And talking of other things, a personal story in the diary link - not something I wanted to publicize like this, unfortunately ...
