My name is Paul, and I retired in April 2021 from twenty-five years in Saudi Arabia.

I taught English there. I am a retired (U.S. Army) infantry officer with an interest in military codewords. By this I mean the designations used for military operations like the invasion of Normandy (Operation Overlord) and so on.

I am the author of a long-out-of-print Codeword Dictionary, the last (and the first) word on the subject.

I am also quite active in Freemasonry and always try to set the record straight on the history of fraternal organizations.

Recently (February 2018) I discovered I have created 305 new articles, ranking me at #4,136 of all editors.
