on the Glasgow tube I recall this from a few years ago — I was on the tube into town I witnessed the nicest thing. There was a young woman about 17/18 years old still in school uniform. I know that’s weird but my daughter Ashley went through this stage, being 18 and still in school we...

Life is a balancing act. As we age — we become wiser, but we have less time left to live. Given the opportunity to choose one day to live again, I would choose my last day. I would relive the last day with all the wisdom gained over my lifespan but maintain the curiosity I had on my first...
