1. Introduction

It seems that I taught my son lessons. Some of them were intentional – like, if you’re ashamed of something, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it. Some were obvious – take care of your teeth. But most of the time, I didn’t even realize I was teaching. I was just living my life in front of him.

I am an author and a consultant. I write novels, and I opine on emergencies involving nuclear weapons and radioactive materials.

There are no lessons here. But I will live parts of my life in front of you.

See if you care.
