This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for March 23, 2008:
I was hoping to write something suitably obtuse today but looks like it's down to personal details....{sigh}...
My birthday is in late June and the day after it, I fly to Slovenia to take a three-day exam in supervision and teaching....if I pass it, I will be able to lecture and provide psychotherapy supervision and trainees will be able to count their time with me as accredited hours...this requires that I write a 28 page Training Proposal Outline (TPO) for submission by early May so after the holidays, I'm on it....there are no percentage pass marks which is a good thing because out of the last three sets of professional exams I have undertaken, I've broken box office records or have secured the equivalent of distinctions and I don't want the pressure of keeping that kind of serious academic success thing flying.....
I intend to set up a company providing supervision and therapy and...well, you know, some form of loving attention...to high-impact high-stress workplaces in the voluntary and private sector and I intend to make a few bananas out of it so I can get a new kitchen fitted and buy Daughter of Franzine and do 3 months per year studying Yoga and Kagyu Buddhism in India and Nepal by the time I am 60 and Lewis is 20 and nestflown...also with money i can wear Armani suits and take myself into singles bars where i will attract supermodel types with Veronica Lake coifs and snap-me-in-two waists and impress them with my portable fossil collection and Indiana Jones manufactured lopsided grin and take them home and ease their lissom bodies out of the red coctail dresses which hang like Japanese fans in limpwristed camp hands...and then...and then......O lawksamussy!!!!!...I cannot take the heat!!!!!....I'm celibate now until after this exam so that I can get more productive and look at how my mind lopes......aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.........
Gonna go meditate....you're right Nicole...it always comes down to the slomo peaceful for me....

Access: Public
ah jon (smiling)
Nobody does florid description like you, Jon - I love this: “…and take them home and ease their lissom bodies out of the red coctail dresses which hang like Japanese fans in limpwristed camp hands…”
If all else fails just let the public bid on your blog posts. You'll make the million in no time! You are just so dammmnn funny!
Atonement: we await. [Saw the film in January, outbound from London… can you match up sir? heheh]
Happy E. :D SC
Thanx Jon….Sherri….everything you wanna know theologically about the easter thang is going down in as undry a manner as possible..but right now I'm opened right out and I'm gonna walk 10 miles beforehand…J xx
Sounds like a heavy duty few months. Too much pressure for me, Jon, but you are the man to handle it….good luck and good fun along the way!

I think you have a really funny book in you just waiting to be written, CG has a publishing house - now why drag your feet? LOL
Waitaminittt!! Are you telling me Jon that you have never written a book and been published?! You have got to be kidding me! I just figured you were a writer some place but I was just out of the loop! What is this? You simply are depriving the world of such laughter… look at your calling, staring you in its face! Luv SC
