If you are only popping in to see 'what's new,' use the current year's "Yearbook," a chronological listing of entries made this year located under Item A in the content lists below.

The last item for 2009 is this interview that has gotten me mostly kudos from both national and international colleagues and friends (it also tells you something about what I do for a living).

The word is out, the Administration is pulling the plug on my Project, the one I discuss in the above interview, and my resume is going to be flying out the door soon. I'll post it here also, in case one of you visitors has a bright idea for new employment for me. Of course at age 65 and after 18 years in the federal government, from a retirement perspective I am best-served by staying with the federal government. BUT, I am willing to entertain any decent offer. --abe--

To Navigate This Site You Need to Know Your ABCs:

A. YEARBOOKS Yearbooks for 2010 through 2002 (most all the content of these pages is also reflected in B and C, but this set of pages allows one to see what has most recently been added).

B. PLACES --photo pages, with narrative describing my travels on three of the Earth's continents:

Go to Asia (Japan)

C. (1) THOUGHTS including eulogies, essays and fiction, with

(2) BOOK REVIEWS and

(3) THEMATIC REVIEWS

The old "link-outline" is still here but not being maintained (all its listings are now part of A, B and C above).

The four home pages for the four websites I combined into one still exist, they serve as 'chapter headings' deeper in the site, but are no longer being added to, so there is no longer a link here: all their content has been moved onto A and B above.
