| Introduction | On October 8, 2007 I retired from the U.S. Department of Justice, where I spent 21 years enforcing the Clean Air and Water Acts and other laws to protect our environment. I am married to a terrific woman (Lois) and have two adult daughters (Valerie and Karen) who bring me joy every day, even though they are busy with their own lives and not around much. At age 54 I started racing a Miata on road tracks with the SCCA. In 2006, Karen persuaded me to resume rock climbing, something I had not done for 35 years. Chapter 1 of a novel about King Alfred the Great of Wessex (England) sits on my shelf, but I have been too busy to get any more of it written. |

The love potion you made tastes terrible. How will you drink it?
All at once while holding my breath.
