A few weeks ago I wrote about the importance of friends. Over the past week I’ve felt this as much as ever before. I rarely use full names, but I will this time. Over 44 years ago I met Charlie Andrews. He quickly became the brother I never had (and his dad became

After last week’s blog Pillows, I received a large volume of comments, particularly from women. One of those was from my lovely wife, Debby.
