I'm slowly emerging from my writing projects and just general downtime. I'll be back on the lecture circuit again toward the end of the month, and postings will pick up about that time, too. Meanwhile, check out this story about the annulment of a marriage of twins who were separated at birth. Interesting connections to science and politics.

Taking off on a flight from Las Vegas to Florida at 11:45 this evening... will look out the window to see if there are fireworks to be found. Meanwhile, wishing everyone out there a happy, healthy, and pleasurable new year!
