U.F.Offs
When I was but a little firefly (lower case and everything), I was an avid reader. Anything about the wierd and wonderful was devoured. I still read lots, but Harvard Business Review just doesn't have the same impact on my imagination. For example...

Aged 7 or so, I was in the back of the car coming back from viewing a house we were thinking of buying in Edinburgh. Driving along a long straight road, I saw some lights zooming along a bit off the road before before they sped upwards to the heavens. Despite my parents protestations, I was convinced that I had seen a UFO, and I held onto this belief for many years.

It's only recently that I've admitted to myself that, yes, we were driving along beside the airport, and UFOs probably don't have Caledonian written on the side of them...

Reality is just so boring compared to the inside of my head sometimes.
