Introduction

Oh the brilliance of the Canadian winter! Especially looking out at the white from the warm quiet of our home.

Seems like a good time to establish this blog. I actually don't read many blogs and have only a faint idea of its future. Certainly, it will include interests and issues and insights (maybe) and ideas scattered over a broad reach. I've learned, over a 40 year career in academia that, too often such ambitions equate to a bully pulpit for raw assertion and blather. I hope to avoid that.

I'd like to thank both of my children, Ben and Laura, who have encouraged me to establish FishTales and hope that they will be frequent contributors.

Will be in touch again, soon.
