I used to teach Greek and Latin Classics and these remain a consolation in my senior years. But I'm also into a mixed bag of views on religion - particularly rationalism, modern morals and general zaniness (is that a real word?)

Thanks entirely to some wonderful videos on YT, I have abandoned religion like an old coat. After a lifetime of pious devotions, the whole business fell away like a bad dream and I am all the better for it. No traumas, no delusions, no wringing of hands. Some of those I have subscribed to are really gifted with articulate wisdom and they have changed my life. Thanks guys!
The background is a picture of some children in the village in which I was born and raised, taken in 1895. I can remember one of the girls and three of the men when they were very much older!!!


Age: 63 [Yes I know I look as if I'm 93 - a life of debauchery has much to answer for! As if . . .]
