18/10/2015 Duración: 03minI have written twenty-five T.I.L.T.s this year since I relaunched in February. Not every week like planned, but life has a way of getting in the way of my creative genius!

04/10/2015 Duración: 05minUh oh, seems things were too good to be true in the good old Bundesrepublik.

20/09/2015 Duración: 04minRed alert! Red Alert! Donald Trump is not an American! OK, so he was born in New York, but his mother is from Scotland and his grandparents are German!

T.I.L.T. #147 — Action Without Action
13/09/2015 Duración: 06minLet the floodgates open. Fireworks just went off outside my home. Or were they all just in my mind?

T.I.L.T. #145 — Don’t Forget To Pack Your Brain
09/08/2015 Duración: 04minGreetings from America, faithful readers and listeners. Sorry for the absence the last couple of weeks. I have a lot of excuses like the fact that I moved house and then went on holiday. But the real truth is that somewhere along the way, I lost my brain. Now how can you lose a brain, […]

T.I.L.T. #143 — Graduation Speeches Sans Jobs
07/06/2015 Duración: 05minWe just celebrated the graduation of the Class of 2015 at Jacobs University. It’s the 8th class I’ve seen complete their studies.

Graduating from university marks the end of formal […]

T.I.L.T. #142 — Costume Changes
31/05/2015 Duración: 05minLast night I had the pleasure of watching my talented wife perform on stage in a play. She was playing a queen in a fairy tale. The role seemed to come naturally for her.
