Ahhhhhhh knowledge. Good things said about it. Bad things said about it. It’s worth knowing what kind of knowledge Peter is talking about here.

Read More Add To Your Goodness – KnowledgeMy guy Stevie Wonder wrote a song about his daughter. He put into song the delight he took in this newborn baby and her growing impact on his life.

Read More It’s LovelyIt’s worth mentioning that this blog isn’t always that concerned to keep up with current affairs.

Read More Looking Back, Going ForwardOK a brief football reference, then I will move right on, honest. So, Wayne Rooney is the leading goalscorer for his club, Manchester United and his country.
