Introduction

I've tried blogging before; perhaps I'll be more successful this time.

I'm getting to an age at which I think I've learned a lot (actually, I've reached such a point before) and at which I think I really must leave a record of some of my thoughts.

Some of the posts will deal with what we humans are doing and how we might do it better.  These are thoughts I've had for years, and the telling of them seems to me more important than ever.

Some of the posts will be much more evanescent, derived from my jottings in a pocket notebook as my wife Elsa and I wander about the U.S. and elsewhere.

I intend for all of the posts to be short.
