To all who thought I had died and those who wish I would:

Just a progress report:

Life is the ivory tower is superb! I want to thank all of you because after
two years of haggling, debating and researching posts with you all, I find
myself in pretty good shape to discuss issues with students. 
I have set up class discussion boards that work rather like the MoQ except I
now have 200 plus folks commenting and discussing things. The only drawback,
personally, is that I have to be far nicer to them than I ever was here.

I am teaching psychology. Being forced to focus on a single subject for a
change is difficult but beneficial. I still manage to throw in lots of
philosophy but then I think psychology really is about answering the
remaining questions of philosophy. I told the students on the second day
that psychology addresses the two big questions people have been asking
since the dawn of time: What Is? And How do we know? I gave them the other
really big questions:

Free will vs determinism
Rationalism vs Empiricism
Nature vs Nurture
Mind vs Body

I even showed them a clip from the Matrix where Morpheus offers Neo the Red
pill and tells him it will take him deeper down the Rabbit Hole. I told my
classes that this is what I thought the course would be about.

Anyway once again, my immeasurable thanks to you all for helping me to scout
the Rabbit Hole in advance.

BTW, Case says, "Hi" from the bench but word is both of our accounts may be
canceled soon and we will both become entirely fictional. Oh, my!
