Telling tales from around the world
Aerial view of a ski resort in the Remarkables.
If I was James Bond or Indiana Jones
I would leap down,
land on top of the slope
and make my way from there,
ending up at the lodge
with a nice brandy waiting for me.
But I am not.
So I won’t.
Damn!
Thirteen used to be my lucky lucky number, ever since I was 7 and put a dime on the wheel at a church bazaar and it won - and I walked away with a cool $1.30 which was a considerable amount when you think a Nestlé's Crunch Bar cost five cents.
But I've got to rethink it... this year's been crap - troubles, illness, heartbreak... I'm half thinking those half-crazed Mayans might have been half right - though I don't half know about what.
Taking suggestions for sure-fire cures for angst, ennui, hospital stays, strict diets and other people. And any other good advice is always welcome.
Didn't get the palomino I was hoping for in 2012, definitely no Nestle's Crunch in 2013. What do I want from this year??? From the OTHER half of this year...

From an airplane! Um… I’m not coming up with any other non-James Bond scenarios… I suppose perhaps a hot air balloon, but they don’t generally fly that high, do they???

Great photo. You could take a taxi there and have your brandy waiting, ya know
Don’t have to jump out of a plane.

Anyway, very cool aerial shot.

If *I* was James Bond, I would.
