The view from my office yesterday. On a clear day, you can see the Adirondacks to the south. Yesterday, you couldn’t even see the river. It’s probably too soon to say for sure if the wildfires were the result of climate change. Nonetheless: our house is on fire!

Here it is. My stack of reading material, from Abley to Wittgenstein via Haidt, Lewis, and Taylor. Why would I do this to myself, you ask? It's for a memoir I’m working on, tentatively titled Make Believe: An Elegy for Faith, part deconstruction, part remembrance.
Any books I should add to the pile?

At the risk of putting the train before the tracks, I, for one, am excited about this announcement.

Outro to the work week…

This should keep me busy for a while. Merry Christmas to all who celebrate!
