The name’s William Ernest Butler, but please call me Bill. I grew up in Ireland, but now live out here in the San Francisco Bay Area. I’m retired now, from technology businesses that took our family all over the world. I answer all emails, so please feel free to email me at bill@paxient.com, or leave a comment below.

Tonight is the last night with the in-laws, and it’s another late one. I didn’t have time to do the Lookups, and am just posting the solution. We are on the road again tomorrow, heading back west, and I should be finding time to make more complete posts. Thank you all for your patience.
