I am now, after more than 5 decades in the work force, officially semi-retired. New hobby: gardening. Old hobby restarting: table tennis. I still have some classes to teach and materials to design, many of which I will continue to share with the dear members of ESLPs. You may come across my materials on Facebook and my blog.

Mini Book 17: Cliff and Linda in colour and greyscale
I have rewritten this 2005 story to make a suitable for a mini book and as I mentioned before it�s another story about Cliff and this time I have tried to include a little romance.
