11. L'homme Propose; La Femme Dispose
July 07, 2013
Rubbish was the decoy, or rather the act of emptying my rubbish was the cover under which I sought to initiate the subterfuge. And the plot, you scallywags, centered upon a lovely young Swiss miss named Claudia, and the prize of her affections.
The night before, I had become quite enchanted w...

12. A Casual Reference To Casualties
June 21, 2013
Why is it that nearly all media reports of casualties that result from disastrous situations feel obliged to give children special mention? For example, "A bomb exploded outside a busy market in central Jerusalem this afternoon killing eighteen people including three children." Is the death of three...

May 27, 2013
FROM NO-TECH TO LOW-TECH

14. Wisdom From The Bottom Of A Well
May 25, 2013
As Nak (my wife) and I hopped on the motorbike for a trip into town our neighbor, Ed, called out, "Have an exciting time." He was being facetious, of course. The only excitement to be had in the backwater outpost of Kampot is avoiding reckless drivers. It is the sort of excitement I would prefer doi...

15. Robert Lax And The New Yorker Magazine
May 22, 2013
Every time I sit down to write I know it's going to be a struggle. That's comes with the job and I accept it. There are occasions, however, when my gut tells me that no matter how hard I struggle, nothing is going to come of it. Fortunately, those occasions are few and far between. Unfortunately, I'...

16. Who Needs Modern Conveniences?
May 17, 2013
When I consider where I live and the way I live, I feel slightly unsettled by the notion that I may have become a bit of flotsam in the wake of civilization's advancing argosy.

17. The Itch
April 27, 2013
“The itch for authorship," wrote Edwin Arlington Robinson, "is worse than the devil, and spoils a man for anything else." Now, after years and years of thinking about it, dreaming about it, and working haphazardly at it, I too am an author. A published author. A paid, published author. ...

18. Supply and Demand
April 27, 2013
Once again, Ralph Reuters, roving reporter extraordinaire, was Johnny-on-the-spot with another exclusive story. This one occupied half a dozen inches of space on page 12 in a recent Sunday edition of the Bangkok Post. The scoop was entitled, "Taipei Temple God Kidnapped for Ransom."

19. Orson Welles in Rome
April 27, 2013
Have just been informed that Gore Vidal died. Oh dear, oh dear! A second rate writer on a good day and a first rate spoiled, self-indulgent ego-maniac nearly every day. An inveterate name-dropper, as well. Orson Welles was one of his favorite names to drop and here's a little anecdote to illustrate ...

20. Funny, Money and Good-Looks
April 26, 2013
A poll was recently conducted on the internet asking which of the following considerations were most important when choosing a mate: money, good looks or a sense of humor. I clicked the 'sense of humor' box.
Approximately half a million people had participated and 74% agreed with my choice. G...
