Miscellany

Bits and pieces of research that didn't fit elsewhere.




Someone once said, "Murder your darlings." Whoever it was (it has been attributed to many people) was referring to those bits and pieces of creative effort that, while nice, were superfluous. Instead of murdering these precious darlings of mine, I have consigned them to this back page. It is somewhat like the "Deleted Scenes" features found on many DVD releases. Enjoy!
