Yes even in a recession it seems they do exist, well at least in the form of an Angel investor, and yes I manged to get him to sit at my table last night along with my business partner Daryl and a few other people we’d gathered along with us. Moments earlier we’d all been [...]

So today is the first day of my 3 day juice detox.

6 degrees of separation in Vancouver

I think I might possibly be one of the luckiest people. Thanks to friends, and friends of friends I’m enjoying life a lot. It helps having technically been on holiday for over a month.

This homeless unemployed bum heads to NYC
