I'm not resigned, but I'm realistic too. The statistics in my case are very poor. Not many people come through esophageal cancer and live to talk about it, or not for long.

When I look back on what I did for the Left, I'm in a small way quite proud of some of it - I only wish I'd done more. ↗

Advertising is salesmanship mass produced. No one would bother to use advertising if he could talk to all his prospects face-to-face. But he can't. ↗
