You may be wondering what I’ve been doing in the meantime. More likely you haven’t been wondering. Possibly you’ve been following along on facebook. I’ve been in law school. I’m a newly-minted J.D., which is a very strange feeling. The last time I “graduated”, I slipped into the registrar’s office and was handed a nondescript box containing my diploma. This time, there was a brass quintet and a tympani, and I wore a hat that made me look like Christopher Columbus. Pictures possibly forthcoming.

It’s not clear to me why that sort of thing should have precluded maintaining this website. Happily, the whole thing didn’t break while I was away. I’m looking forward to returning to you, my loyal audience of lighthouse keepers. Some things I’m thinking about doing this summer, blog-wise:

  • blogging my way through a couple of books: Metamagical Themas, by Douglas R. Hofstadter (a book I’ve been meaning to read for about 15 years) and Brandeis and the Progressive Constitution, by Edward A. Purcell (Look, law-related content! That’s new!).
  • returning to my great-great-granddad’s civil war memoir, which I was slowly converting into an e-book and annotating.
  • climbing back to the top of the heap in chicago flag blogging.
  • random other stuff, probably. I don’t see much more R. Kelly blogging in my future, sorry to say.
