Why don't people believe climate scientists that anthropomorphic global warming is real and a growing threat?This question puzzling scientists comes as no surprise to social scientists. NPR's All Things Considered ran a recent story highlighting research that shows a belief in climate change hinges on a person's world view. From NPR's story:  Read more >

About Me: 

January '09 came and I turned 55.  I find this hard to believe ;-)

After 33 years in the corporate world, I accepted an early retirement package in January '08 and decided to try the world of independent contracting.  Great timing!  Fortunately, I found work right away, although it's not enough to keep me from tapping my nest egg from time to time.  

I'm a writer/editor/web communicator so it's natural that I've been involved with blogging from early on, both personally and professionally.  I'm erratic though -- I haven't yet developed the discipline to keep the pipeline filled.  I hope to register my blog on Blogher soon, and contribute more than the occasional comment to others' blogs.

I'm divorced and my only son is 24, a college graduate and about to enter the Coast Guard.  I have the luxury of time I lacked as a single parent and full-time employee. 

 

I'm still a little lost as I try to find the passions to fill this next third of my life.   I expect I'll be exploring that.
