you should know your shame should be outwardly directed, not inward. In addition to your courageous service, and your work helping micro-financing all of the world, your posting here (whether I respond or not) brings me joy. We may not always agree, but I love reading your geopolitical analysis, and marvel at your memory of events, names, faces, food, etc. Your travelogues alone are worth the price of admission.

You definitely should.
I have it. Read part of it, but not all yet. *

I needed an editor.

The goddamn thing is full of mistakes. It's sometime too wordy, too cluttered. I was resolved to correct all that with a second edition, but it morphed into a different book, more autobiography than travelogue. It sits on my computer along with a memoir of my Navy days and a collection of essays, letters, and rants (blog posts).
