This is a collection of reminiscences written over a period of three decades while the author traveled from the US to Asia, Australia, Middle-East, and Europe. The contents are varied but fit under the rubric of memorabilia discovered while looking for other things. Hence surprises pop up when they are least expected. The author is a professor at a recently announced ivy-league university and a practicing architect for 50 years. His literary interests run long and deep coming to fruition only recently through blogs (Word Press: Rats and Berries, 2010), a current fiction (Hermit Crab, 2016, 2017) and a poetry collection (Musings of a Male Menopausal Mutt, 2017). The sources of his inspiration are both real and fictitious. He publishes under the nom de plume of Sail A'non.
