I retired last year after 40 years as a reporter and editor for The Associated Press. It was a good run in various places, ranging from Atlantic City, N.J., to Cairo, Egypt. Mostly loafing now, here in leafy Brooklyn. My wife, Eileen, is still working for AP, but looking foward to some travels once she, too, retires. My daughter, Catherine, has given us two grandchildren, Leo, 6,and Charlotte, 4. We're lucky that they're nearby in New Jersey so we get to see them often.
