This site undergoes constant revisions, not only additions of new pages and material, but also fixes and improvements. Because of that, only the major changes are listed in the table below.

Of course, there are also the diary type of pages with their more frequent new entries, such as

Wine Diary	Lots of new wine notes, many because of great close-out sales
Music Diary	CDs and musical events of interest to me. Last updated March 3, 2006, after a long pause.
Observations ...	Whether they're personal observations, or musing on the state of the world or U.S. politics, there are new entries from time to time.

Recent Changes:

Chatham Harbor Run

Udpated 7/3/09	Chatham Harbor Run	Participated in a 10k road race at age 70, with good results.
Updated 7/3/09	Writings	Added a few new pieces of writing some many weeks ago.
Revisions 3/31/08		I finally updated my Home Page and some links leading from it to reflect changes in activities - there are some new ones, as well as old ones that I'm no longer engaged in.
Revisions 10/20/07		Comcast decided to offer much more storage space, but also totally changed Personal Web Page (PWP) access. Old features are gone (e.g. visitor counters, support for .mid music files, an editor), and new ones appeared. I'm seeking to maintain my website by editing offline and then downloading files through the ftp application Cyberduck (highly recommended). Fixes will appear when I find out what's no longer working and make corrections.
New 9/7/07	River Cruise 2007 Wildlife in Newton Harz, Berlin 2006	Set up three Photo Albums, with slide shows, in Google Picasa. They're pictures of two vacation trips, and one of local wildlife (lots of wild turkeys).

Updated 1/16/07	Writings	January was a good month for adding to Writings, with a few new pieces. It's now been about three years since the first one, and still rewarding to express thoughts through fiction.

Updated 3/22/06	My music	Finally updated the piano pieces that I've been learning and playing.

Updated 2/13/06	Writings	Two new pieces of verse were added to the Writings.
Revisions		With a new Safari browser and a larger display, some of the old formatting needs improvement. Over time, the various pages will be made neater.
Updated 7/12/05	Fruit Tart	Two more fruit tart recipes (Mango Lime and Simple Blueberry Tart), as well as general neatening of the tart recipes.
New 7/12/05	Photography	A new category, photos with what I hope is a bit of artistic content. To begin with, there are selected photos of the New Zealand 2005 trip, with others to follow.
