That's very true Alvin. I've been writing general emails (instead of blogging) to the homebase in Holland for 4 years now. I get wonderful feedback and yes you're bang on: you can't write about what you don't know or haven't experienced. The audience picks up on that anyway. I find if I have silly things, interesting, thoughtfull or extraordinary stuff to have happen in my life, I can write about it to others to keep them entertained

. And no, I don't make stuff up. I don't have to
Anyway: excellent blog man, great stuff! Thanks for that.
