      My Letter to the World

      This is my letter to the World . . . Judge tenderly -- of Me.

         -- Emily Dickinson
      My Letter to the World covers general matters -- observations, memories, investigative reports, rants, opinions, links to other places on my own site -- in short, it is the Central Office in the Department of Shameless Self-Promotion. Below is a list of this year's pieces. For the 1999 collection, visit the Letters 99 Archive index page. Enjoy yourself.
