Ian Stone is 'Looking for the Wow'
"Life can't just be the humdrum, the mundane and the routine before the inevitable slide of disease, decay and death. Why can't we sneak in a bit of awesome, a tad of amazing and maybe a smidge of wonderful?" A forest canopy opening onto a huge vista would be enchanting for some but Ian's ancestors wondered the desert for forty years, they've been outdoors enough.
Others get their fix from the spiritual but Ian's been harbouring a grudge against God since his mother stopped him going to Arsenal after his Barmitzvah. Forty-nine years ago. 'God will be watching' she said. Well, at least he got to see the game. The point is, life could be so much better so Ian's on the lookout. Come and join him on the hunt.
