I've been running for nearly 38 years but you can't run forever. I'm leaving ITV's service at the end of the month, and regenerating into a freelancer from the 1st of July.  It's an awfully big world out there. Time to poke it with a stick and see what happens.

Read an article yesterday in NY Magazine saying people grew increasingly smarter during the twentieth century because they were surrounded by intelligent media, and now we're getting dumber because media is aimed at the dumbest people. Raise your kids on books & old films.

Etymology of the day: ‘book’ comes from an ancient root shared by ‘beech’, a wood that people used for engraving inscriptions. ‘Paper’ comes from ‘papyrus’, and ‘volume’ is from the Latin for a ‘roll’ of parchment. Happy World Book Day.
