This link takes one to a recording of a recitation of my Christmas classic: "Sam The Messiah Man" on the evening of Sunday,January 27,2000. It was done on WESU radio,FM 88.1, in Middletown, Connecticut. The first part of the podcast is preceded by 15 minutes of recorded music from the Grateful Dead and John Lee Hooker. The recitation that follows takes 40 minutes.
The download can be done from a panel to the left. Transmission is through two formats. The VRB M3U allows one, if desired, to fast-forward through the music. It's quite a good recording. It always amazes me to hear how slowly I seem to be talking although I have the impression of giving a rapid delivery.
Here is the link:

I do appreciate it when someone notifies me to report a broken link. I welcome any sort of reasonably sane communication.
I was thinking of changing my title to "Res" (Researcher), which is perhaps more accurate, but lacks the provocative power of claiming the right to calling myself Dr. or PhD. For the background to this debate, go to Council of Autonomous Scholarly Support
A contest is announced on the Grothendieck Biography page. Anyone who sends in a complete solution to the geometry puzzle presented there, will receive a free copy, by E-mail, of the html version of my translation of the first 150 pages of Alexander Grothedieck's "Recoltes et Semailles".

This photograph of me was taken in the winter of 2000. As president of the Middletown North End Action Team. I was doing my part in cleaning up the grounds of what has since become the neighborhood's pride and joy:
The North End Community Garden.
