OLD FOLK LOVE
F*ck you Boris, Cummings, Trump & his “Lieutenant” Texas Jester. Our older generations are the most under-utilised, untapped resource. They’ve walked the walk. The very suggestion that they are somehow “expendable” in the time of this pandemic to “save the economy” is horse sh*t.

Hi Martin,
Another great episode. Mary Folliet sounds like an interesting person to have supper with. Your comments on the older people in this country being a a precious, if under appreciated, asset and resource were absolutely spot on.
Also, a side note, my father worked at the Brooklyn Navy Yard as a pipefitter back in the day.
Episode 10 was interesting. Very beat poetry vibe. Not really my literary genre.
Hope all is well with you. Take care of yourself, we are sure not out of the woods with this yet. Turns out waiting two and a half months to respond to a pandemic is a really, really bad idea. Imagine that.
Vinny
