  • Jump for Joy

     The other day I was sitting at one of our gorgeous beaches with a friend when we saw a school of dolphins in the bay. Not far away, they were swimming close to the surface, leaping forward half way out of the water and heading towards an unknown destination in their peculiar determined way, like they often do.One thing was different this time, though : the leading dolphin and a few others behind him in the group were jumping far out of the water, straight up, doing summersaults backwards and forwards in all sorts of twisted ways.More

  • The Truth About The Flying Dutchman

     I believe there is a ghost ship knocking around in our parts, and it's not just a legend! Doing some research on the Internet, I tripped over some eerie fables about the Bermuda Triangle - but now I am looking out for the red sails of the Flying Dutchman on the horizon right here at Cape Town's False Bay in South Africa.According to the tale of the Flying Dutchman, a maniacal Dutch sea captain once struggled to round the Cape of Good Hope in the teeth of a terrible gale that threatened to sink his ship and all aboard.More

  • Five Years After 9/11 - Life in a World of Illusions

     When was the last time you couldn't believe your eyes? For me that was Tuesday 11 September 2001, five years ago today, when I saw airplanes crashing into the World Trade Centre in New York on TV, collapsing the twin towers within two hours.This simply cannot be happening, I thought.More

  • Take Responsibility for Anything You Do

     Have you heard of the Stella Awards? Apparently, once a year Colorado journalist Randy Cassingham ranks the 10 most frivolous lawsuits in the USA by "virtue" of their ridiculous claims and outrageous judgements.It all started with 79 year old Stella Liebeck in 1992 who sued McDonald's in New Mexico because she spilled hot coffee in her parked car, burned her legs in the process - and won US$ 640.More

  • Do You Honour Your Rhythm?

     Finally - on Sunday morning the sun was shining again at the Cape of Good Hope, after heavy winter rains all week. It was still nippy with a bit of a breeze, but we were dying to get out, to smell the sea and maybe see some whales - on Saturday we had spotted the first Southern Right of the season from our deck in Simon's Town, blowing its typical V-shaped spray some distance away.Walking down to Fisherman's Beach, we noticed that many flowers enjoyed the rains and were in full bloom.More

  • A Beautiful Mind - Genius and Madness Are Close Neighbours

     Have you seen “A Beautiful Mind” with Russell Crowe ? The film is based on a true story about a brilliant mathematician coming to grips with schizophrenia, and it won four Academy Awards in 2001.I’ve seen it a second time last week and was again captivated not only by Crowe’s performance, but especially by the fascinating illustration of how powerful the human mind is.While Professor Nash teaches at a famous American university, he is approached by secret service agents to decipher a code which the enemies of democracy use for their subversive activities, threatening national security.More
