14: freedom like the web - A web server provides a way around an arcane prison computer security system built with Windows Group Policy.
15: career paths in the hinterland - If it weren't for the prisons, Sullivan County, NY, would be almost as jobless and empty as Chernobyl.

26: Indian food for older white women - A cooking class teaching my wife and some of her friends how to prepare bland Indian food.
27: hammerheaded worm - A crazy menagerie on the glass of my greenhouse.
28: math for adults - Performing some trigonometry, I reflect on how little math I actually do in my day to day life.
