Welcome back, Swine Flu! It has been a while.
I have to honestly say that I am not happy to see you again. You caused quite a stir last time. When we last met, you were introduced as a formidable foe. Everyone was talking about you. Everyone was worried. The nightly news continually featured statistics and a map of your impact. Read more…
AH! It could not have been more perfect. Without a doubt that was the best cappuccino that I have ever had. The texture, the taste, the aroma, it was all optimal. Little did I know that floating in a cavalier manner on my dream drink was a gnat. So much for perfection!
So often, we are absorbed by the rightness of a moment only to find some flaw that totally alters our perceptions of wellbeing. It is true that we corrections professionals are trained to look beyond what we see with the naked eye. Still, we are human and we can be fooled.

Dear Reader:
The following is not directly related to corrections. In fact, it has to do with the mechanics of Foundations. There are some minor changes that I made and I did them with the Reader in mind
What I did was trisect my lumbering bibliography. What was once a huge, cumbersome document is now split into three:
2000-2004 Bibliography
2005-2008 Bibliography
2009-Present Bibliography.
I was thinking that the old bibliography, a document ten years in the making, was much more difficult to use than it had to be. It was almost like an over-indulgent drum solo in some hard rock show. Sure, the drummer is entertaining. But we would more likely enjoy the artistry of said drummer in smaller, more digestible bites.
So please peruse the bibs. Take advantage of the easier format. See what I have written over the years. And if I have not said so recently, thanks so much for reading Foundations and other Joe Bouchard works. I truly appreciate it.
Joe
