Yesterday we had good friends for dinner. My lovely wife cooked some very tasty curries and we really enjoyed the evenning. At one point we had a discussion about how people our age are not as risk-averse as younger people are. This is because whenever the brain switches on, the negative experiences from the past come to the fore and fear sets in. Living without fear is an art. Do you live without fear?

Jazz album of the day:
Jackie Wilson & Count Basie – Manufacturers of soul
