## Resource

I seemed to recall that we said at some point that we would try and get a few more guests on TCD (...sorry Lucy), it could have been as a result of passing the 250 mark or it might even have been a sort of NY resolution. Now clearly anything that either of us states as an intention (or even a hard-and-fast truth) should be taken under advisement, but in this case it is playing out as described. Saying that I didn't think all of them would be so close to home, because today marks the debut of the third (in podcast terms) and the first (chronologically speaking) of my offspring, with the appearance of Sofi. I have really enjoyed these episodes, not least because of how proud I am of all of them, but also because of the little nuggets of insight that have been uncovered as we have chatted.
