Apologies to those quoted herein

If ever you read anything well-written herein, likely the source was someone other than myself. My intention is not to take credit for things penned by others, and I'll try to remember to include citations. The last post, for instance, contains a few lines from T. S. Eliot's "Four Quartets." Eliot's poetry is with me always, peppers my thoughts, and so the likelihood of my failure to provide citation is high.

Also, to protect the identities of living persons depicted herein, I invent aliases.

I shall do my damnedest not to offend either by sins of omission or the latter sins of comission.
