Hi everybody, and welcome back to Strictly Average for another article. Although I normally write about Modern, this one is going to be a bit…different. It’s going to be about me…kind of. Full disclosure, I don’t often like talking about me. With the exception of being around friends in private conversations, and as long as I’m feeling ok, I’m generally kind of quiet when the subject becomes “me”.
