This will be a short update because I haven't done much since my last one, given the hectic start to the fall semester. (I know, likely excuse.) I do, however, have a lot to accomplish in the coming months, so I'm posting this as a way to clear the deck, so to speak, in preparation…

I visited campus yesterday for a New Faculty Luncheon, which gave me a chance to catch up with my fellow chairs and various administrators and staff, and whenever someone asked me how my summer was, I answered, "uneven."

Is it the end of July already? As I did at the end of June, I'll give a brief update on things happening here… 1) The superhero-and-philosophy book I'm writing is going well. I'm in a better position than I was a month ago: I've experienced fewer down days, and as a result I'm well…

It being the last day of June and all, I thought this might be a good time for a brief update… I'm working on three projects currently, trying to do a bit of work on each one every day, especially the first and main one. 1) The superhero-and-philosophy book I'm writing this summer (hopefully to…
