Observed on the drive to Allerton

Observed on the drive to Allerton yesterday: Flooded fields with 4-inch high corn plants look like a lot like rice paddies.

I write science fiction and fantasy stories.

I speak Esperanto, and use it to communicate internationally. Esperantistoj, legu mian esperantan hejmpaĝon.

To my very great surprise, I seem to have become a taiji instructor. I teach both beginners and continuing students at the Savoy Recreation Center.

For eleven years I was a senior writer at Wise Bread, writing about personal finance and frugality.

    I always enjoy shoveling my sidewalk here, because I figure it lets me feel smugly superior to all the jerks who don't shovel theirs.
