Since I am facing a bevy of deadlines for writing projects and suchlike, I am going to step away from Quantum for a couple of months.  I may post occasionally–perhaps with some sections of the projects.  My thanks to all those who follow the blog and especially to those who comment.

Happy Thanksgiving and a blessed Nativity!

Terrific Google search page today.

I want again to thank publicly the administration, faculty and students at Southern Mississippi.  I am indebted to you for inviting me to speak and for the engaging and educational (for me) discussion of Merleau-Ponty.  I had a great time and learned a lot.

Back on the gravel road, the road I grew up on.  Oppressive heat, barely beaten back by the asthmatic old air conditioner in the double-wide I grew up in.  In which Mom and Dad still live.  With its uneven floors, and soft spots, feeling to hesitant feet a bit like a newborn’s head does to gentle fingers.  Wicker everywhere.  One well placed match and there’d be conflagration.  Heat hangs heavy, heavy.  I watch kittens play on the furniture.  Lucinda Williams sings in my head.  Home again.
