Editing My 16-Year-Old Blog Post
There’s a couple of reasons for this odd post. There are two reasons for writing it. One is a belated respect for copyright law and the other is a selfish one-my eye is on the WordPress prize for editing a post more than 6 years old. The latter will no doubt be disqualified because the…

Personal Ancient History
The essay below is a blog post I wrote way back in 2010. I was a mid-career consultation-liaison psychiatrist in a university hospital. And I’d always been a writer by inclination. It was one of my first posts and after that, blogging was something I never really pulled away from. I tried to give it…

WordPress Happiness Engineer Makes My Day!
It was beginning to look like I was probably not going to get human assistance with managing my new blog theme, but the WordPress Happiness Engineer saved the day! By the way, after I switched, I couldn’t find my old classic theme listed anywhere. So, even if I wanted to flip back to it, I…

The title was “Letter from a Pragmatic Idealist.” While a lot of water has gone under the bridge since mid-December of 2010, some principles remain the…

About Me Page Revisited
I’ve been looking at my About Me page and see that it needs revising. I’m way past the stage of being in phased retirement and I’m pretty sure I can’t do without this blog—or at least some way to keep writing. I notice I said that I was not sure how long I’d keep blogging.…

Legacy Blogger
I just found out today that my blog’s theme was retired. I don’t know when WordPress retired it, but it gives me a familiar feeling about retirement. Sena gets the credit for giving me the idea of changing the theme (which is how my blog looks on the web) because of the new year. As…
