My NOTES originate
in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where I have lived since 2020. I was a
professor at Penn State for 41 years and in higher education for 51
years. 
These NOTES span
topics that reflect a range of ideas, learnings, and challenges that I
encounter daily as I sit at a table with my computers in front of the
large windows that look over trees, birds, and daily neighborhood
activities from my 4th-floor condo in the Shadyside neighborhood of
Pittsburgh.
