This Issue

We welcome newcomer Joan Price, whose article shows that you can go home after all. Mark MacHogan checks in with a neat little story of bullies and seniors while Sheila Murphy and Paul Healy*, who takes time off from his magazining, bring us this month's bit of poetry. We've got humor by regulars Susan Packie, Bill Harvey, and Myra Johnson, with interesting articles by staffer JoAnn Malina and trekker George Towner. This issue's leadoff article is by that Energizer Bunny Gareth Penn.

*This is not a mistake: Then-editor John Cumming slipped Paul Healy's "The Choice" into both issue 33 and 34. In keeping with the spirit of not making gross edits, we've reprinted it in both uploads.
