Warning: this will probably get long. There will be some bad language. Yesterday I posted something on Facebook, and the conversation there got a little….. I’m struggling for the right word(s), Heated? Passionate? Stupid? Interesting? Sublime? Frightening? Probably all of the above. Here’s the post in its entirety: Oh dear God, please stop. “Another […]
I’m Retiring
