The best way to spend a September weekend.

The weather here on the Gold Coast is lovely at the moment. Nicely warm with gentle breezes. The beaches are beautiful and the Coast is coming to life now that we have arrived at Spring. None of that waiting until the middle of the month to change. I noted, with interest,  a Status Update on Facebook, just after midnight last night, delighting in the arrival of Spring and the disappearance of Winter. What is the best way to spend a September weekend? In fact, the second weekend in September. This is what I shall be taking part in. I...

Yesterday when a Facebook friend posted a link to the New York Times article about Angelina Jolie undergoing a double mastectomy, I was skeptical. I work in social media. I am sometimes skeptical.
