There is a favorite line from my novella Dinner Party For Eight in which Angela asks Harry:“What do you think I am?”Harry considered this for a moment. What was she actually?“Well I suppose you are a very beautiful cook.”So if I have to answer the same question what am I actually? I would also need to consider this for a moment. I would like to say I’m an ex astronaut, have more degrees than a thermometer, have competed in the Tour de France without any EPO, surfed Teahupoo in Tahiti and emerged unscathed, sailed round the world, am an ace Alpine skier, am a member of Mensa, have a beauty queen wife and gorgeous kids, and started my own corporation which has listed on NASDAQ. I could go on but like Arnold Schwarzenegger I don’t want to boast.Well to be honest, I have gone some of the way towards all those things. I do have a letter from Wernher von Braun, I do have three degrees in Physics, I have flown in a jet plane (Emirates Air), I do cycle the mega steep hills here where I live but unfortunately can’t get EPO anywhere, I am a keen surfer who has almost managed to break his neck, I am an ocean going skipper and I did own my own yacht though if it was me I wouldn’t sail with me as captain, I do ski but you need to get out of the way, I do have a beautiful wife (though her agreeing to marry me has to be my biggest piece of luck ever) and two great kids, I do have my own software business but no stock exchanges alas and I would like to take the Mensa test but I’m pretty sure I would fail and then I wouldn’t be able to live with that so I would rather rationalize. I live in that sapphire city – Cape Town.

10 days in Waikiki - Also by this Author
I want to tell you about my 10 day trip to Waikiki, a trip of a lifetime really. I’m also going to suggest a place for you and your family to stay in Waikiki which is ideal.
Yes, I’ve traveled far and wide around this lovely planet of ours. Every year for 40 years I’ve been here or there but never Hawaii. Even though we made about 10 trips to the US to visit family, for some reason we never got our act together to go to Hawaii.
Well, as time and money are running out, more or less at the same rate, about 18 months ago I put my foot down, and said; we’re going to Hawaii and nowhere else until we've done this trip. It’s been a sort of lifetime goal and heaven knows why it has eluded me for so long, it’s my own entire fault really.
Part of the problem is that I
