Walking... Sep 28, 2004

Can I also point out that under the shower is one of the few places where there are no phones, no e-mails, no faxes.

The same here...
I get my best ideas while walking with my 8 months daughter: the situation when I have no choice but walking and thinking instead of working, doing housework or thinking over business related issues.

"Robin (your namesake)"

So that makes three of us so far in the business here in Germany. Another couple and we could start a Verein

Anyway, to continue the "not under the shower" list:

The kids
The pets
The things that live on the pets
Spouses*
Partners*
SOs*
Consumer survey phone calls ("This will only take 20 minutes of your time")
Jehovah's Witnes... See more

That neighbour who's always threatening to take you to court because you don't brush your section of the pavement 10 times a day

Talking with friends Sep 28, 2004

Or enemies. They give me lots of ideas. I also get great ideas when reading books. Newspapers also give me good ideas for writing.

Staring to some cat, any kind of cat... Sep 29, 2004

Cats'watching is basically my stuff.

When staring (they dont' like it)or watching to a cat (not necesseraly mine)I feel relaxed and creative.

Cat watchers (and better, cats'owners - or owned by them) are trustfull peoples.
