I read his children’s book Grimble as a young lad

We are very busy at work. We did 2000 orders on Friday. I suspect it will be the same this week. As I posted yesterday, I was a bit groggy this morning.

I apologise to my Valya for using bad words, on skype. I was really tired, and quite busy at work

There is a disturbing story from Bolivia, that catches my eye.

http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/breaking-news/ireland/family-of-irish-man-killed-in-bolivia-issue-statement-14272375.html

A man, from Tipperary, has been killed. There are claims, he was involved in a plot to murder the Bolivan President Evo Morale.

The reports, at this moment are confused.

My thoughts, to the family.

Song for today ``There’s gotta be more…’’

I don't know why I actually possess this picture. School Photographs, now there is racket. They take you out of class, and take your picture, and charge you for the picture. Anyway, my mother never paid for the school photographer. She had 4 children in the same school,  and paying for 4 photographs, would not have been cheap. I do remember the day though.

But for years after, this was my mental image of myself...
