I am making an effort to break out of writing in the firs person plural. This will mean some pronounced awkwardnesses in posts as I revise them as originally written to say what I want to say in first person or perhaps third person. Please bear with me. Don't know how I lapsed into the habit anyway--except, perhaps, as a way of not having "I" here so much. (And more than a little as a way of salving my conscience as I consider all those in the same boat with me. But the reality is, as you all well know, I cannot speak for "we" I can only speak for me.)
