| Introduction | I blog to keep my mind nimble. I'm a BA with a double major in economics and sociology and attended graduate school in economics. I was a college instructor and university researcher. Besides my day job as family driver and cook, I write, research and consult a bit. I used to blog anonymously. But since most of my blogs are more than just "musings," I decided to out myself. |
