XVAR
Introduction The letters “VAXR” came into my head and I thought how could that be a story? I then rearranged them to “XVAR” because I thought that VAXR was close to Vaxxer and that might cause ructions with COVID anti-vaxxers. However, I think everyone who can be safely vaccinated should be vaccinated, I know so many people who have been affected by and frightened by the effects of COVID that I believe I should do everything I can to stop the spread of the virus, but that is way off the target of this piece of fiction. However, the end could be the same.

Follow You Follow Me
Introduction I was out walking, which often inspires me to write things and the Genesis song “Follow You Follow Me” popped into my head. It was their first album as a trio, Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett having walked, but I still bought it on the basis of “Follow You Follow Me” and the opening song “Down and Out” but I was hugely disappointed. The rest of the album was just boring, but those two songs showed that there was a spark still there and the rest of their musical career did throw up some surprisingly good songs. As usual, I have digressed and gone off track so now down to the business of what I was going to talk about.

The Texas Jerusalem Crossroads
In 2001 Lift To Experience released their debut album “The Texas Jerusalem Crossroads”. It’s playing as I write this. I read a review of the album in some magazine. It was album of the week or month but was filled with superlatives about the album.

To Stay Happy
To Stay Happy should be an ambition for us all and maybe it is. Being happy makes our life better and helps us to get on with others, create and generally feel good. It improves our health, makes us better friends and helps us be in a position to help others.

Bread And Circuses
An AI Explanation of the phrase: The phrase "Give them bread and circuses, and they will never revolt" is a popular paraphrase of a sentiment from the Roman poet Juvenal, criticising how rulers pacify the masses with food and entertainment to avoid political unrest. It describes a strategy to control the population by distracting them from civic duties.
