I am a Chemist by trade, and a Patent Attorney by profession. I’ve spent my entire working life on one project or another trying to figure out a better way to do things.  Whether it’s a medicine, a plant, a polymer, or a new gadget, the goal is always to understand the underlying principles, and tease out something useful.

For example, I have recently bought a pretty house in what may be the best agricultural zone in the country.  I have made some improvements, and plan to do some more.  I intend to turn the house and its garden into a jewel in a lovely, comfortable setting.  

There is always something new to try, and I am always looking for good ideas.

As a visitor here, you might find something useful for yourself, or help me solve one of my own problems.  We all have our strengths, and skills, and insights.  I've been delighted by the help I have gotten from different people in all walks of life.  So, please chime in.
