Essays and Articles These pages contain mostly essays composed especially for this website and cover a wide variety of subjects. Essay Archives I wrote these articles and essays before this site existed, and some have been published elsewhere.  They may have been modified to reach a more diversified audience. Memorabilia Reminiscing is a favorite pastime of retired old poops like me.  These essays (all new) deal with memories, but all attempt to present a more universal message.  Of course, memory is tricky, so I may be recalling events that never occurred.  Grumbles Comments (usually short) about subjects that cause an old curmudgeon to go through the ceiling.  (Gripes about abuses of the language are in the "Pet Peeves" section.) Pet Peeves These short pieces express some of my pet peeves about ways that people abuse the English language. Just for Fun These are short pieces on the lighter side.
