Happy Christmas everyone!
There are some lovely people in the world. Sometimes with all that’s going on it’s easy to forget, but there is good to be found. Merry Christmas.

If I’d put that in a book a few years back I’d have been laughed out of the room.

Amazing to think that little more than a year ago I was juggling options about when I’d next return to America.
And now I feel almost cool with the idea I’ll never go there again.
The world got reset in 2025. Who knows what’s next?

Put him on the first plane back never to return.
