The dumbest thing I was ever told
A not-so-nice old lady once told me she believed the world's starving children owed their fate to misdeeds in former lives.

- I’m not going into that good night – gentle or any other way – for as long as possible. Hence the launch of this blog in December 2009 a month before my 65th birthday. Why the blog's name? When my doctor temporarily prescribed statins to reduce my cholesterol levels she told me to exclude grapefruit from my diet. I received the profoundest sense of my own mortality. I’ve never liked grapefruit but now banned they called to me siren-like from supermarket shelves. Forbidden grapefruit, it can only be a short step until my body was denied solid food and then oxygen itself. Originally a cultural blog subtitled last stop before the abyss, after building a large archive, I re-launched in a new guise in March 2012 and again in April 2014. My interests are widespread; by nature I prefer to look forward rather than back. I’m male; divorced with grownup children; a retired national newspaper journalist; and a Londoner. GC
