have all waited for an end to the shutdown.

A publication of mine, which has been accepted and

is in editing for publication and the planning for a

conference volume, for which I have been invited to

prepare a short paper all came to a grinding halt 

beacuse of this gridlock. That said, I am quite  lucky

because at least I am not a federal employee.

 

One person, whom I know, changed jobs from a federal

to state position in mid-December 0f 2018. I now have

to apologize for suggesting that he was crazy to do so.

 

Yours,
