What People Are Saying
I have received many compliments on the site over the years, and frankly, the compliments are what have kept me at it! Thanks for reading.

Previous Book Reviews
I read a lot and every few months I post a review of a book I liked on the home page. Most of the books have to do with sailing or things nautical, but it is not inconceivable I would post a review about something else. Buy a book through tgw.net's association with Amazon.com and help support this site.

The old tgw.net home page
I kept this for nostalgia sake and just in case there is someone out their who prefers it to the new home page. If you do prefer it, feel free to bookmark it—I won't delete it. Designed in May of 1998, this workhorse did duty until June 2000 when it was retired with a 21 gun salute and replaced with the current home page.

matrimony.com
This section has papers or projects that I worked on while completing my MBA at the University of Washington. Right now, the only project I have put up is an IS (Information Systems) project my team did in 1997.
