Or not.
You are an excellent writer Neil. And believe me, people with baggage are a hell of a lot more interesting than those with tiny hand-bags. Of course at times, one may wish that they left the baggage at the airport. Perhaps we've got someone else's suitcases and they're fluttering around the world, being benal, predictable and monotonous.
Maybe one day, it'll all make sense. Taking the 'non' out of all this 'nonsense'.
