JUST ABOVE SUNSET – as a commentary site – has gone dark, at least for now. For now there’s just occasional photography, and each Saturday that would be botanical photography.
Storm Roses (25 images): The year opened with a series of rainstorms. Most of the roses everywhere in Los Angeles have been cut back to bare stems – winter is here. But some still were in bloom. This is after two days of heavy rain, before two more days of heavy rain on the way. Roses can be persistent. ~ Saturday, January 7, 2023
New Year Blooms (30 images): The new year opened with dark storms, one right after another, but here in Los Angeles that doesn’t matter. Something is always in bloom, no matter how odd. ~ Saturday, January 7, 2023
About Alan
The editor is a former systems manager for a large California-based HMO, and a former senior systems manager for Northrop, Hughes-Raytheon, Computer Sciences Corporation, Perot Systems and other such organizations. One position was managing the financial and payroll systems for a large hospital chain. And somewhere in there was a two-year stint in Canada running the systems shop at a General Motors locomotive factory - in London, Ontario. That explains Canadian matters scattered through these pages. Otherwise, think large-scale HR, payroll, financial and manufacturing systems. A résumé is available if you wish.
The editor has a graduate degree in Eighteenth-Century British Literature from Duke University where he was a National Woodrow Wilson Fellow, and taught English and music in upstate New York in the seventies, and then in the early eighties moved to California and left teaching.
The editor currently resides in Hollywood California, a block north of the Sunset Strip.
