I’ve been away so long, I scarcely know how to make a new entry.
My time away, if not well spent, has at least clawed its way to the surface of something like recognizable human existence.
I will soon (June 3) be leaving for the 2015 International Whitehead Conference. I will be delivering two invited papers, and acting as moderator for two other sessions. I hope to delay my projected nervous breakdown until I am back home and my cat can yell at me for being an inadequate human. In the intervening time, I will have the opportunity for numerous personal and professional contacts and interactions.
My cat will be singularly indifferent to these lame attempts at developing myself as a person and a scholar.
I plan on blogging (very short snippets) while I am at the conference. I will have more considered thoughts once I get home, and will also return to my not entirely regularly scheduled screeds on matters of science, metaphysics, and logic.
(And the Oxford comma, which I hope you all appreciated in the above.)
There’s nothing to be nervous about, Gary! (smiling and wishing you a nervous-free presentation) We’ll await your blogs from the conference! Enjoy your trip west. The cat will forgive you, in time!

Hey Ebb! I know you’re right, and it is not as though this was my first rodeo, but for reasons that are outside rational justification, I remain a bit stressed by the whole thing. I’ve re-read my papers and am actually moderately pleased with them. So it is just that cray-cray shit that doesn’t submit to logical argument. It’ll all be fine.
And I know where the can-opener is, so Groucho and I will recover.
