But Paul, you already have lots of feedback it doesn’t work.
I would urge you to swallow your pride and reconsider, it works for you but not for the intended audience.

Who’s taking it personally? I merely went through your comment and answered it.
The original point was you were strongly hinting that genius and being a society drop out are inextricably linked. I was merely pointing out that most genius comes from hard work and intelligence, who invented Blu Ray DVD, not mad Bob who barks at the moon thats for sure. You are taking a tiny percentage of events that the media focuses on and extrapolating to the whole world, quite often as it happens.

Regarding retirement/post 40 interests, I could certainly put more focus into learning guitar (not really been doing this seriously so need to look at this), there are many books I really want to read, I could gain new impetus in learning Mandarin, spend time with the family, look at some outline ideas I have for products and spend a few hours at my Catia station bringing these to life, some days do absolutely nothing.
Its not hard to fill up the days, this is just a quick brain dump of ideas, plenty more.
The worries associated with bundles of cash are hardly in the same league as those associated with not having it.

Group random spirit shots?

I hope to e-mail the questions to Paul Torday on Friday, as I should finish the book tonight.

Then it’s just a matter of how long he takes to reply.

And heh another author has just agreed to do an interview: Tom McCarthy of Remainder and Men in Space fame!

Paul I think Urban Pagan has confused you with Paul Torday re the comment about the book!

LOL

Thanks Jim & Em. It’s an impressive community of bloggers and posts at flowers.

Urban Pagan,

Not sure about the book comment.

As for the two kids, you’re right, it did seem like a miracle at the time … and always good fun.

Hi Mike. When do you envisage completing and posting your interview? It’ll be interesting to see what comments that generates.

Was impressed what you did with that campfire story, by the way—such an unwieldy beast to tame, but you did it.

Hi aussiecynic. Thanks for the greeting. Have been dipping into your blog (and BJ and Mike and others here—Uncle Tom Cobbley ‘n’ all) for a while now, so it’s good to communicate.
G’day from a neighbour (aussie and blogger).
