    About this ebook

    A secret organization of men has been working for two hundred years to achieve women's equality. Now they must consider the results of their efforts. Perhaps they should call the whole thing off? It might be too dangerous for men themselves. A certain sense of humor may be needed to appreciate this short piece.

    Author

    Ted Reynolds

    I live in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with a teen-age daughter and son (with all the admiration and despair that entails) and one fat cat and one sweet cat. And a perfectly satisfactory wife. They all tolerate me. I have a scruffy beard, a bad right foot, and much too easygoing a nature for my own good. It wasn't always so leisurely. I've climbed a twelve-thousand-foot-high mountain twice. I navigated a small sailboat around the world, and saw Bora-Bora, Bali, and the Galapagos before they got globalized. I swam in 6 Seas, trod 50 oceanic islands, went through several typhoons. I was pulled over by the Coast Guard for trespass in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. I got questioned by the Stasi on the wrong side of The Wall, and then crossed the Soviet Union on the Trans-Siberian Railroad on a protest mission. I’ve been charged by a rhinoceros and bitten by a badger. Then I turned 25 and had to settle down and get a job. In my spare time I stubbornly wrote stories about cruising the galaxy and a novel about killing God but all that paid zilch. Still, I've somehow earned my living, seen amazing sunrises and sunsets, known amazing people, and raised amazing kids. Lately I retired and things got dull, so I’m writing again. Wish me luck.
