Covid-19 struck Australia just as I was putting the finishing touches to this book, The Freedom Circus. It was surreal recalling how my grandmother-in-law survived the Holocaust on maggot filled porridge, while watching Australians fighting over toilet paper.

Wait... March already? Does anyone else feel like 2021 is already rocketing along? I always loved the jokey analogy I heard from a patient of mine: "Life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer you come to the end, the faster it goes!"

When I was younger, I was excited about technology. It seemed to be a promise to become a kind of magic wand for everything I envisioned creating.
