Clocks and Doves

The Island of the Day Before is in a large measure about clocks and doves. One chapter alone is entirely about Doves, but merely because the mysterious dove of the island, which is borne of fire, represents the lady he loves in some sort of unobtainable way. Roberto cannot reach the island, he cannot see the dove, he cannot be with his lady. So here I am writing test documentation for my PHP, Javascript, mysql etc. but I chose not to bore you with that, because it is boring and if I ever end up doing it for a living then fate will have played a cruel hand indeed for poor unfortunate me.

I'm terrified I'll end up living vicariously through my kids: my son now plays the guitar quite well and he's a lot younger than I was when I started playing. He also plays golf quite well too, and he's a lot younger than when I started playing. You see a theme evolving there? I'm only 35 for Christ's sake.
