    <about><![CDATA[Living and cruising on my sailboat for the past nearly 3 years. Currently in Guateloupe, French West Indies. With no other distractions reading is a BIG deal on this boat but finding books can be an adventure. Retired from teaching Physics in 05 - miss the kids but not the administration nor the papers! Have a book of my own out - The Why Book of Sailing. Buy one damnit!]]></about>

After the war but before Elvis. A time of night clubs, tuxedos, smoking (everyone), highballs.
