So, something happened the other day that literally stopped me in my tracks. First because I was like “Holy fuck, I’ve gotta be careful what I say to my kids. Then it was because “My son is all kinds of awesome”. My eldest boy, John is in year 6, the last year of primary, or […]

This is a slightly updated version of a post I wrote last year. I haven’t changed it much, the sentiments expressed, the hopes voiced, are still the same. Read, and remember. It was, by all accounts, a clear day in Manhattan early on September 11, 2001. It began as a slow news day. It would […]
