The eagle-eyed among my readers will have noticed the long absence of posts. I didn’t think anyone would notice because I didn’t think anyone was reading! However, on Tuesday I met someone who had. Spurred on by that, I have decided to write again (sounds like the title of a Western - Destry Writes Again).

This long silence was occasioned by: (1) uncontrollable fury at bankers and politicians; (2) a complete feeling of impotence in that regard; and (3) a heavy workload. Well, I’m still livid with the politicians and the bankers and I still can’t do much about it, but life must go on.
