This website is a doorway to the inside of my braincase. I am aware that this may be scary to many readers but I am not concerned. I will simply imagine their strong reaction encouraging many of their friends to enter. Their friends’ friends will also be too curious to stay outside. This is a very encouraging development for me. On the inside of my braincase there are many rooms. I can house all of you.

This website is interactive in a way that suits me. You can visit my favorite parts easily – Wednesdays From The Womb and The Blog.

The Freak Files will take you to the freakier side of me - horror stories, irregular thoughts and occurrences. This will be open to short story submissions (email me here for more info).

You can log your workouts and train hard with me by registering with RD’s Gym.

“It wasn't a very difficult decision to make when we sat down to decide how we'd structure our lives once our second child - Lewis - came along. Reservoir Mum loves to work and makes a lot of money doing it. Reservoir Dad doesn't like work very much at all and made a lot less money. We assumed the kids would be happier at home with us than at child care.

I remember holding on to six month old Lewis with two-year-old Archie standing beside me, as we waved Reservoir Mum goodbye and I started my first official day as a stay-at-home Dad. We went back inside, the door clicked behind us and we waited for a moment. Nothing happened. Looking back now, I get the feeling that I was standing in a bomb shelter without realising that I was actually holding on to the bomb."

“Sons, after many years of heavy weight training I want you to go to University. It’s an important step in building a successful and happy life. You must begin by hanging outside the Medical Student’s facilities. You will find many intelligent women who congregate there. They will be learning things. Impress them with your large muscles, your superior strength and, while you make them laugh with your self-depreciating sense of humor, tell them that you have the ability to knit, cook, maintain an orderly house and rear children. This is the best way to meet a smart young woman who will one day be a rich Doctor.”
