I have been very negligent in attending to my blog.  I hope to rectify this over the next few months.  I'm motivated by the fact that I've been diagnosed with a serious heart condition that does not admit of any significant treatment, and there seem to be some other issues creeping up on me healthwise.  I suspect I do not have a great deal more time on the planet, and, ego being what it is, I'd like to leave something behind that might connect me with some who follow.  Be forewarned, I am a bit of a pessimist these days (for reasons I will elaborate upon here), so some of what I say may be less than cheerful.  So be it.  I welcome responses, and hope that, when all is done, that I've had a positive impact on some lives, particularly those I've had the privilege of teaching.
