Best of their kind

• The Avenging Aardvark's Aerie These pages are a kind of memorial to the author, Ross Pavlac, who died in November 1997. They are personal pages, and yet far more than personal pages, and cover a a lot of different subjects and interests. One reason I like them and recommend them is that I seem to share a lot of interests with Ross Pavlac, and I'm glad that his pages remain on the web, so that he can still communicate with people. I'm sorry that I won't be able to take up his dinner invitation in this age, but perhaps in the age to come there will be a better feast... In the mean time, his pages still speak, and perhaps that's a better memorial than any tombstone. You can also read his obituary, written by his friends. I took his pages as a model for my own pages here, and I'd be happy if my pages were only half as good.
• Journals & Diaries - Do you keep a journal or diary? If you don't, this page might encourage you to begin a journal or diary now. If you do, this page will give you hints on how to improve your writing. If you don't know the difference between a journal and a diary, you'll find more here.
