I’m writing this very brief message to let everyone know that agathopsis is returning to life. I haven’t developed the new mission statement yet, but when I do, I expect that it will involve activities I hope to pursue in the future. Retirement? Well, sort of… but I expect to be far more active than the old cliche indicates, so I won’t be hanging out any “Gone Fishing” signs soon.

In general, look for commentary here on domestic politics, U. S. policy in the Middle East, as well as Arabic translation, and organizational consulting. I invite you to share your comments.
