the thinker: Happening Now
http://thinkingprof.blogspot.com/2015/07/happening-now.html
Containing all of the things I like to think about, and then some. Monday, July 13, 2015. It's been a mixed bag here lately. I'll start with the negative, so that we can at least end on a more positive note. Tomato plants are dying. One by one. Day by day. It's like a friggin' Agatha Christie murder mystery out there in my garden, and all because of the black walnut roots. That are still left in the soil from 2011. Black walnuts contain juglone. If I tried to communicate how frustrating the histamine/hor...

Containing all of the things I like to think about, and then some. Sunday, July 26, 2015. 8220;People are now planting bombs in the tramways of Algiers. My mother might be on one of those tramways. If that. Is justice, then I prefer my mother.” - Albert Camus (Stockholm, 1957). Earlier this week, I had the chance to reread 20th-century French novelist and existentialist philosopher Albert Camus' lecture, " The Unbeliever and Christians. If you click on the link, you can read the lecture). Inasmuch as you...

the thinker: Savoring the Summer
http://thinkingprof.blogspot.com/2015/08/savoring-summer.html
Containing all of the things I like to think about, and then some. Saturday, August 8, 2015. I can't believe how fast the summer is going or the fact that it's been almost TWO WEEKS since I last blogged! Meanwhile, I have company coming for a visit next week, so I need to get cracking. That said, I've been reading Carlos Bulosan's America is in the Heart. 1943), his memoir about his experiences as a Filipino migrant worker in California and the West in the 1920's and 30's. As a reforming (or recovering?

the thinker: "Alias Grace"
http://thinkingprof.blogspot.com/2012/12/grace_2.html
Containing all of the things I like to think about, and then some. Sunday, December 2, 2012. What does the past tell us? In and of itself, it tells us nothing. We have to be listening first, before it will say a word, and, even so, listening means telling, and then retelling." - Margaret Atwood. I love Margaret Atwood. In the mid-90's, I read quite a few of her works- Cat's Eye. So it was with a trembling sense of joyous anticipation that I picked up Alias Grace. At trial, McDermott claimed that the murd...

the thinker: Buckling Down
http://thinkingprof.blogspot.com/2015/07/buckling-down.html
Containing all of the things I like to think about, and then some. Tuesday, July 7, 2015. I decided that this is the week I really need to buckle down and start working on my research and writing. Because the 4th of July has come and gone, which means we're midway through the summer, which means I need to buckle down and start working on my research and my writing. So here are a few images to showcase the extent to which I'm buckling down. For the record, I would like to point out that the basil needed.

the thinker: December 2014
http://thinkingprof.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Containing all of the things I like to think about, and then some. Wednesday, December 24, 2014. If there's any advantage to having been intermittently under the (unbelievably dreary! Weather lately, it's the fact that I had the chance to read two really interesting books. Brendan Reilly's One Doctor: Close Calls, Cold Cases and the Mysteries of Medicine. In an era of increasingly specialized medical practice, Reilly represents a dying breed of primary care physician- the generalist. In One Doctor,.

the thinker: July 2015
http://thinkingprof.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Containing all of the things I like to think about, and then some. Monday, July 27, 2015. Okay, so last week went about as well as could be expected, what with a doctor's appointment and a medical issue. But the good news is, by Wednesday night, things started to turn around- probably because a friend stopped by on short notice and we went out for pizza- and by the weekend I was back in the pool and back on the bike and back to being myself. Meanwhile, it's going to be Round Three for pesto-making this w...

the thinker: March 2015
http://thinkingprof.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Containing all of the things I like to think about, and then some. Saturday, March 28, 2015. Not Without A Peep. Well, as I'm sure you can guess, break is over and I'm busy with classes. Fall registration is also upon us, so there's advising as well. And spring is often a time for meetings and extra lectures and all kinds of academic odds and ends. Hence the blog-silence for the past week. And, perhaps not surprisingly, the only kitty in my house who hadn't. But it's okay: I went shopping, and I'm ready.
