I’m friends with a couple about to set off for Paris for their first visit. How I envy them. My upcoming memoir looks back fondly to my first days in Paris. If there is magic in the world, it exists there. Though the man and wife who are about to fly there are retired, I’

Rutherford Classics: It’s Alive! It’s Alive!
Aug 11, 2017
In the writers’ pecking order, the author with a publisher stands taller than the one who is self-published. Having a publisher implies someone other than the writer believes in the work enough to commit hard cash to producing it. Nonetheless, after working with 4 publishers, I’

Giants Of The Earth
Aug 10, 2017
On several occasions, I’ve blogged about technological advances in robotics and how androids could disrupt our society. What I hadn’t considered was the way large tech companies could become a threat in themselves. I’m talking about monopolies. Not the traditional kind, like

Sheila Michaels, MS And The Moral Dress Code
Jul 31, 2017
When they return from a vacation, I suspect my readers have an experience similar to mine. I’m surprised the hurley burly of the everyday world has changed not a whit. Old political feuds continue. North Korea has fired another rocket. China remains complacent. Russian hacke

If One Could Talk With Rudyard Kipling
Jul 28, 2017
IF ONE COULD TALK WITH RUDYARD KIPLING Rudyard Kipling’s poem “If” offers advice on character building and how to weather the vagaries of one’s fellowman. Unfortunately, it says nothing about coping with electronic devices, which is natural enough as the man died in 1936.
