Jealous?

Well, he started shooting at more or less the same time as me, but he switched to the dark side maybe a year earlier. Club tournament yesterday (American round, compound unlimited, 697 scored: second class would have been 713), and he told me he'd been selected for the County team at the SCAS shoot. What I said was "Congratulations!" but what I was thinking was far less praiseworthy.

Then he continued "It's a shame that my first County shoot is then, because its right in the middle of my first chemotherapy"... for advanced bowel cancer. I remember a few weeks back we were chatting around how maybe he thought he had an ulcer.

So I've been reflecting on competition and jealousy in general.

Lyrics of the day

I said I'd never walk away,
But it seems we have come to that very day.
Don't waste your adrenalin
On the mess that we are in...

- Briskeby

Mozart's last letter

" I am appointed to a situation which will afford me leisure to write music just to please myself, and I feel capable of doing something worthy of the fame I've acquired. But, instead, I must die."

... and the glory of the world becomes less than it was.

Overindulgence

This software swallows all my best 'live' posts. Feel free to assemble the snippets below into an account of an evening that amuses you:

• 180 shots of flavoured vodka and counting
  
• Rochfort 10 Trappiste
• How does one share soup in a Tapas Bar?
• The cleverness of the comment blinded me to the impact it might have
• Teenagers in their first bar that doesn't ask for proof of age ID

Management

I am subject to an experiment in management style; enlightened bribery. I must say from my perspective its working out rather well. You can't help worrying if there might be a steel claw in the king-prawn-and-monkfish-kebab glove, though. Perhaps one dark day the Pinot Grigot will run red, the hotel suites wither into hastily-fumigated student bedrooms, the flights remain earthbound and replaced with trains full of 'special people' and missed connections... But until then we dance on.

Testing mobile access

So, can I blog from my mobile phone? It seems so...
