Getting the hell out of the way…

No one has ever accused me of having a small ego. Because I don’t. I have always had what I see, unapologetically, as a very healthy self-image, and it has always stood me in good stead. It is the source of my self-confidence and the reason for my lack of shyness, and it probably goes [...]
