“To succeed in life, you need two things: ignorance and confidence.” - Mark Twain

It's getting longer and longer between 'posts' isn't it? At one point this so called blog was full of my happiest outpourings, and my lowest ebbs. But not even I care anymore. So little happens, it's hardly worth stopping by to say how little happens.

I'm lucky to get a nod from my family these days, and my daughter is 16 and fully independent (save, of course the occasional Dad lift) I'm wondering what purpose I fulfil. My proudest achievement, my lovely daughter, is all grown up (she let me stay in the waiting room at the dentist today, first time ever), so at least I could die happyish. however since I'm an atheist, and not quite as depressed as i once was, I'm not quite ready to go, just yet. Surely there's someone out there who feels like I do?

(I'm currently listening to Paul Buchanan as I type, so that may be informing my mood somewhat...)
