What a great Sunday - I got up at the break of dawn and witnessed a wonderful sunset on the way to go Hang Gliding at Wallaby Ranch.
Hang Gliding was amazing!!!
Probably the closest I'll ever feel to flying free as a bird.
Everyone there was super friendly and after a great lunch and throwing the pigskin around on the ranch (during which planes and helicopters would land and then take off again) I headed back to South Tampa to catch the dramatic end of the Liverpool Chelsea game. I was rooting for a draw, but Liverpool missed two sitters and Drogba set up Malouda to make it 2-0 to Chelsea in the dying seconds at the end...
Following on from that the Bucs had a dramatic finish against the Redskins. Kicking a late field goal when they had the chance to tie the game?? Falling short on their final possession to lose, but still exciting.
After that I found some old high school pictures and pictures from my last night in the UK back in August 2002. Happy times. I scanned them all in and uploaded them to facebook. I also found two gret pics of John I uploaded.
I cleaned out my walk-in closet, completed 3 loads of laundry, cooked lunch and dinner, gave a tour of the house to a prospective new tennant, ran a couple of miles and cleared out my old cd collection. I feel great and am really happy with the way my life is heading.
I really feel I can focus now on living life to it's fullest in Florida.
Good night :)
John Forth Tribute
Posted by domforth On August - 05 - 2009Full tribute to the original Forthy. He was an absolute legend and we will never forget him!! I'm just so grateful to have had such a wonderful brother. Full of so much character and personality – always making me laugh. We were both afforded similar opportunities in life but the one thing I had in life that John didn't, was him as my older brother. And I attribute so,so much of my success to John. He was brilliant. In John I had both sides to the perfect role model - a brother who was able to teach me what to do and the way to live my life … As Thomas Campbell once said.... 'to live in hearts we leave behind. Is not to die.'
R.I.P. John Forth: 1979 - 2009
Posted by domforth On July - 26 - 2009Devastated is an understatement. I am truly shocked and saddened at the news that my brother John passed away in his sleep Sunday morning. The preliminary cause of death seems to be "coronary atheroma"... More to follow...

Peru, South America 2008
Posted by domforth On Sep - 12 - 2008No visit to Peru is complete without a visit to Machu Picchu. Located high in the Andean Mountains not visible from the valley below, this city has been re-discovered in 1911 by Hiram Bingham. Besides the fascinating Inca architecture and scale of this site, Machu Picchu owns much of its glory to the unique location. Every time you enter the city, you cannot help but gasp. The Lost City of the Incas, Machu Picchu...
