More old books...My blog’s draft box contains over 20 postings in various degrees of development. I’ve been reflecting on the below posts and slowly developing my response to each. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to dedicate the desired time and mental energy to them, so I’m posting links to them here in an effort to share them while the conversations are still hot. Each is worthy of your consideration.

All the best,
Clif
