60. If I don’t do what I’ve always wanted to do then I’ll be disappointed. Writing. Word by word. Page by page.

Michael Swann's Practical English Usage. In the old edition I have, he gives some useful examples on how to use these "taboo" words.

I first read Tom Robbins when I was 14 and everything changed. Still Life With Woodpecker, a love story that took place inside a pack of Camel cigarettes. So that's what a novel can do! Loved his work and loved meeting him. Sad to learn he's died but 92 is a fair old age. Feel fine.

Obviously, diet. But allopurinol - and you'll never suffer again. Ask your GP.
