  • George Colburn’s Irish Wake

  •    
    Tuesday July 18, 2023
  • July 3rd was one of the most magical days of my life.  A group of humans coming from all over gathered in Walloon Lake, Michigan, in sadness for the loss, over 6 months ago, of a dear, dear friend.  Not exactly the best of starts as magical days(...)

  • The future of academia

  •    
    Wednesday April 5, 2023
  • Academia is stale (arguably). The comforts of life-long job security do not particularly keep us on our toes, nor are particularly conducive of sharp and lucid thinking. Academics are the dormant ones, in my view. On the other hand those with one foot in the(...)
