The Life of Riley




	...in any year, it seems I either haven't done anything memorable, or haven't got around to writing about it yet!

WELCOME
Hi, my name is Craig Riley and I am a professional web developer and pool player. I built this website mainly so I could record all the eventful things that happen in my life. Therefore, although I use some sections of the site like my web portfolio and resume for professional purposes it is primarily a fun site.

You will also find a comprehensive listing of my billiards achievements in the sport section, in depth details of my global adventures in the travel section, and many images and videos in the gallery. And last (and probably least!) if you want to know what makes me tick, check out the riley area of the site. Also throughout the site you will find many articles about The Life of Riley, my life - I hope you like it!

craigriley: Add to this a warning of moderate turbulance from the pilot and my my growing fear of flying and you can get a sense of my state of mind

craigriley: I knew the flight from Paro would be much worse than the landing, after all the mountain at the end of the (shortest) runway wasn't moving!

Over the next five weeks I'll visit 6 countries including the Estonia, Finland, India, Bangladesh, Nepal, and the last true Shangri La that is Bhutan.
