Why am I selling it? Well, my intent had been to give this to the University of Pittsburgh, who are getting the rest of my papers (and indeed, have some already). But with an almost 101-year old grandmother recovering from a fractured pelvis and ribs, an 81-year old father fighting a rare tick-borne illness that less than 3,000 Americans get each year, and a kid heading off to college, my work time has been severely impacted this summer. And with work time impacted, so is my productivity, which means less $ coming in this fall and winter. Given the uncertain state of the current economy, that’s a concern. Bottom line — I’m selling it because I need the money.
