I Get Older I Get More Cantankerous,

I Have Discovered That Even The Mediocre Can Have Adventures And Even The Fearful Can Achieve.

I Started To Become More Active And When I Was At Auckland Grammar I Went For The First Time To The Mountains. I Went To Ruapehu And For The First Time I Saw Snow. I Had Never Seen Snow Before And For 10 Days The Group Of Us Had A Marvellous Time.

I Have To Admit I Do Get A Bit Depressed At Times And You Know I Think About The Good Old Days When I Was Charging Ahead.

Life's A Bit Like Mountaineering - Never Look Down.

I Have No Desire To Live Anywhere Else But New Zealand. I've Had The Good Fortune To Travel Widely Around The World, But New Zealand Is Home - And I Like To Be Here. I'm Proud To Be A New Zealander.
