I’m now writing for a new online publication, Benicia.Patch.com. My columns, Quiddities: Musings Essential and Frivolous, appear on Tuesdays.

In the past I wrote for the Benicia Herald, the Vallejo Times-Herald, and a early adopter of the online-news approach, BeniciaNews.com. Unfortunately BeniciaNews.com eventually failed, so it’s good to see another publication delivering local news sans newsprint, which can be more convenient in certain venues where it can be left lying about, but which is expensive and wasteful of natural resources.

If my English students would like the opportunity to critique my columns, now’s your chance. Of course, I hope you’ll be nice, and should you find grammatical or logic errors, please be gentle.
