GOOD on Ashley Robinson for deciding to give much of the shallow stuff in this world the old heave-ho from this year on (Daily, January 3).He has had the courage to state much of what many of us believe, though seldom have the opportunity to suggest.With death the great leveller, I guess we all think of our deceased parents and other relatives and friends at this time of year.None of us is immune to our shortening days, so need to decide to make the most of them.Thanks, Ashley, and a great 2016 ..>> view originalIs your family playing it safe in the sun?
