I realize that this somewhat cryptic title may not be the most upbeat, but it’s a bit of a provocative way to think about what I just did.
In fact, this was a unique, touching, and honestly, important honor for me. I have just donated most all of the materials, papers, flotsam, and jetsam, that are the artifacts of my 40-year career. It’s a physical highlight reel of what came from my life’s work. …

Medium writers often opine as to predictions for the upcoming year, and I am no different, so here we go again.
