And for my next trick…

Part of the mythology surrounding writing involves the endgame: some day, not so many years from now, we’ll wake (around noon, perhaps 1 on a Sunday) from a pleasant dream of sympathetic Muses and adoring publicists, rise from our silk-sheeted bed and lazily wander to our marble-tiled bathroom. A nice long bath later, we’ll descend […]

Just a quick note…

…to let people know that I’ll be a bit quiet here over the next few days while I deal with end of semester grading. But I’ll reemerge shortly, presumably none the worse for my harrowing experience. 🙂 Until then, carry on! Greg
