The dream of conversation with Jim.
Jim, Are You Not Entertained? Podcast Chat
Jim posted about it yesterday, saying he was asked about Mandela. It’s all well and good they were asking about Mandela Day. As you say, under current circumstances it makes sense. But I still can’t help but feel pangs of envy. I mean, geez, it’s their SECOND interview in as many years and I can’t…

Visual Treats
Well, for me anyways. Quite a number of photos I hadn’t seen before in the pages of this little booklet. I’m sharing most of the previously unseen (by me) photos within. A few of them have been around before but I just liked scanning them and having a perhaps better copy than I previously did….
