  • Reflection on Martin Ginsburg

    Adapted from a blog post written long ago for something else.  “A disproportionate part of my professional life has been devoted to protecting the deservedly rich from the predations of the poor and downtrodden, and it is not easy to see why that deserves a medal” –          Martin Ginsburg I didn’t really know Martin Ginsburg,…

  • The BQ(Q) – Ross C

    This one hits close to home. Ross is exactly the same height and weight as I am, and just a couple of years older. He also seems to have a similar history in running. I find all the BQ(Q)s inspiring, but this one perhaps a bit more so than most.  Thanks Ross, you’ve got me…

  • Review: Mandel’s Station Eleven

I loved this book. Science fiction type books that deal…

  • Review: French’s In the Woods

    In the Woods Tana French The first of French’s Dublin Murder squad novels, this is the type of literary novel masquerading as a crime novel that I absolutely adore. On the surface, this is the story of an unsolved disappearance and an unsolved murder, decades apart. And on that level, it’s a very successful crime…
