Catch you on the flipside!

Posted in Beach bum, People, Summer, Vacation on December 20, 2006 | 10 Comments »

This will probably be my last post for 2006.
Come Friday, I am off to the coast for two weeks of well-deserved rest. That’s the beauty of living in the southern Hemisphere… you get to experience Christmas holidays at the height of summer. Yeah baby!
I am not sure how much rest I am going to get [...]

(A one-dimensional perspective)
A recently single mate asked me what I would do if [S] and I were to end our relationship.
