I’m an economist, now retired and living in the shadow of the eastern Canadian Rockies, and spent most of my working life in the employ of various departments and agencies of the Canadian federal government.  Having written reports and memos for most of that time, the urge to write has never left me.  Now, however, absent external discipline, it’s a random process.  Most of the time it involves writing commentaries on books I’ve recently read but I want also to have a forum for commenting on other matters.

So I’ve decided to enter the world of blogging so that I can share comments that I write – or have written – from time to time.

I intend  to post comments on matters of current interest that I come across in my daily reading on and off the web and that I find of special interest or import. But that also will be a more or less random process!
