2023 has been a heck of a year. From getting my visa approved to the Springbok Rugby Championship to learning astrophotography, it’s been wonderful. Two years in South Africa and life just gets better every single day. I can’t wait to see what 2024 brings.

They say home is where the heart is and my heart is in South Africa. When my time comes, scatter my ashes in the vineyards and let me roam this beautiful place forever.

‘n boer maak ‘n plan, or ‘a farmer makes a plan’, is a common saying here in South Africa. Loadshedding is getting worse and the predictions for this winter are hectic. So, we made a plan and here are some suggestions for surviving during the blackouts.

Cruise is a joyful, thought provoking, and heartbreaking trip through the uncertainty of the early days of the HIV/AIDS epidemic as viewed through the lens of London’s gay community in 1980’s Soho.

The darkness of winter is fading, but the darkness of loadshedding is not. Spring has come to South Africa and that means warm weather, white wine, and coming out of our hibernation.

There’s nothing that can strike fear into the heart of most South Africans more than inviting them to a good ol’ fashioned American barbecue.
