Journals

I have recorded my thoughts in a number of places, both electronic and on paper. What follows is a compilation of all these records, arranged cronologically by year.

I began my electronic journals in the fall of 1992, and those are now available complete through 2003. I am also transcribing my paper sections from 1993 back, plus some occasional entries away from my computer.

N.B.: As these are often the deepest and most personal thoughts I have recorded, they are inherently explicit at times. If complete and total honesty and openness is too much for you, you may want to go back now, while you still can. Some of it even shocks me. Quod scripsi, scripsi.

Comments, etc. are welcome.
