The Sturdy Soapbox sat on typepad for over ten years. I moved here to cut costs and improve the design aspect.

I'm Keith Povall and I write about the shallowness and frustrations of modern life, wondering what happened to good old fashioned common sense.

I'm fond of curry, coffee and beer. I wear socks with sandals and don't care what the fashionistas say. 

In a world full of caterpillars, it takes balls to be a butterfly !
