| Introduction | I could be described as a "wandering scholar," or a "scholarly wanderer." In recent years, my main interest has been travel: generally road trips, taking plenty of time, following the older, more scenic and historic highways and by-ways, stopping at the drive-ins and diners along the way. But, before I retired in 2003, I was a public servant, researcher, writer and teacher for more than 35 years. Now, when at home, I am a social service volunteer and peer counselor. In consequence, I have been a lot of places, met a lot of people, and in particular read an awful lot of books; bought even more; and wrote a few myself, too. From this experience, I have arrived at a few central conclusions or fundamental tenets. This blog is a place to set these down--first briefly, and perhaps later in more detail. It was begun on January 6th, 2010, at which time I was 67 years old. |
