and feel like you know what direction you’re heading in, the paths change,
the signs change, the wind blows the other way, north is suddenly south, and
east is west, and you’re lost. It is so easy to lose your way, to lose direction.
And that’s with following all the signposts.
There aren’t many sure things in life, but one thing I know for sure is
that you have to deal with the consequences of your actions. You have to follow
through on some things.
I always give up, Alex. What have I ever had to do in my life that really

maths on a Monday morning and finding a spot the size of Pluto on my nose

around on the Monday, on the Tuesday, on the Wednesday, Thursday, Fri-
