Causes
I’m pationate about my causes and one of them is the American Diabetes Association. I want a cure; not just treatments in my lifetime.
Food, Glorious Food
My friends ask for my recipes. The ones I actually write down are here. Most are a little ⍼ exotic. If you saw the article in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in August 2010 … follow these links to the original recipe for Raspberry Tiramisu.
Microsoft Excel
I have specialized in Excel for about 29 years, all the way back to version 2.0 (there was no version 1.0) that came with a run-time version of Windows 2.0. There are three sections in my guide to Excel:
Most of my work the past few yeara has been in Access and SQL. Watch this space for solutions based on Access. I have also been learning how to program the interface in Outlook. Cool stuff!

Geography
I've gotten loopy about Missouri history. In my spare time (?) I am putting together the database for the Missouri Postal History Society.
Genealogy
One of my more recent pursuits is tracing my family lineage using DNA testing.
Calligraphy
Yes, the name at the top of the page is in my everyday handwriting!

«  I am sure there are more errors now that I “fixed” the page.
