Milne muses

“Life must be a tricky thing for the superstitious. At dinner I happened to say that I had never been in danger of drowning. I was ordered to touch wood.

Sunday’s soapbox

Sunday’s soapbox is yours to use as you will – within the bounds of decency and absence of defamation. You’re welcome to look back or forward, discuss issues of the moment, to pontificate, ponder or point us to something of interest, to educate, elucidate or entertain, amuse, bemuse or simply muse, but not abuse.
