On Doing Less... 2008-08-10 16:32:00 "The really idle man gets nowhere. The perpetually busy man does not get much further." ~Heneage Ogilvie
Does Ideology Actually Help? 2008-08-09 16:30:00 What do we know about Afghanistan? Probably very little. We all know of it’s existence, we speculate about its tentative links to terrorism yet very few of us understan what our historical links or reason for being in Afghanistan are.

Time to take a good look at the received wisdom of our modern times that constitutes the busy man's yoke. Tom Hodgkinson's book "How to Be Idle" is fundamental reading for the mini-retiree.

What is a Mini Retirement anyway? 2008-08-05 16:49:00 Three years ago I disappeared off the radar. The socialization radar that is.
