Shift here from second person to first person.

I was working part-time for the KSF until March 31st last year (2024). I was retired from April 1st to July 5th. I came out of retirement to write a book. I have two working titles: Internet Wisdom 1st Edition and Sparky's Booklet. I spend a lot of time doing research and writing. All the words for the first draft are in my commonplace book, but the words are not in the right order. I have no delusions at this early stage that it will ever be good enough to be published. I get satisfaction from the process regardless. I'm figuring it out a little better every month. My resignation as Treasurer was final a couple months ago (March 6th).

I remain a volunteer on this project and strive to not out-live my welcome. But my book comes first.

If you surf through the history of this page, you can see how my interests have evolved and what I accomplished in the past.
