Philosophers understand things until they happen. Thursday, September 2, 2010. The Lowdown on "Get Low". My wife tells me I think of movies in a more literary way than most people, looking not for fun and entertainment, not even for a chance to think about life and emotions and people.

Philosophers understand things until they happen. Wednesday, October 13, 2010. The Lowdown on Get Low, Part 2. I Profess: Christianity for Sinners and Secularists.
