As some may know, I am a big Liverpool fan (since I was a kid), and my son and I attend many matches at Anfield, the home of Liverpool Football Club, during the season ⚽️.

Back to the Future!
Describe something you learned in high school. I learned that unless one’s future is so ‘obviously’ predetermined, the interest and behaviour of an 11 to 16 year old kid are not necessarily an indicator of the adult to follow.

Prior to the pandemic I rarely, if ever (can’t remember), used Teams or Zoom. Skype was a rare indulgence. Now, almost ALL meetings are held online unless there is a good cause or reasonContinue reading “Covid-19”
In these turbulent times!
by Ryan Clement It saddens me to think about the world my son will grow up in during these turbulent times around the globe. I was communicating with my very good friend, D., today and asked whether we worry ‘more’ (if measurable) about our young today than our parents and guardians did about us?
