STANDING FIRM I was talking to a friend of mine a week or so ago and we circled back to some people we knew in high school and where are they now. I sometimes can’t remember my own name so remembering people from a half century ago seems like a waste of energy. But my friend can remember names, faces, birthdays, what they were known for and maybe who their History teacher was. And when we started to talk about... Read more

OKAY, IT’S YOUR TURN Okay, so a week from today is Father’s Day. It is to celebrate our dads because last month we celebrated our mums and now its dad’s turn. But for a chunk of families, there is no dad. He left. Maybe it is you. Maybe the guy next to you, or down the street.
