October

Its the end of September and I don't have much to tell. Lots of work but, alas, no closure. I am fascinated and concerned by what is happening in the States which will impact on all of us. But then that also reminds me that we all go back to 1972 and in 36 years (a lifetime by anyone's standards) so much has happened to change us and also compromise us, that maybe a blog site wasn't a good idea. Not only because we could all have very different views on things (seems that was also there in 1972) but also obligations both private and public that make this not a very perfect medium for communication. The modern public sphere is for me fascinating and, I confess, a source of optimism, but it does have it's risks and now days anyone (potential client, employer, investor, political adversary) can just google and find you hanging out with old friends who have been living totally autonomously for 36 years and so are capable of "who knows". Maybe the best idea is to use this blog to organize a reunion sometime.
