Brainstorming about history, politics, literature, religion, and other topics from a 'gypsy' scholar on a wagon hitched to a star.
Crass ConsciousnessNegation of negation - diamat!
Slightly BetterTo slight a candle, lightly curse the dark.
ProverboseWordiness: many more with much more less.
NothingnessEverything you grasp, you take away.

I am a retired professor. I last taught at Ewha Womans University, mostly composition, research writing, and cultural issues, but also the occasional graduate seminar on Gnosticism and Johannine theology and the occasional undergraduate course on European history. My doctorate is in history (U.C. Berkeley), with emphasis on religion and science. My thesis is on John's gospel and Gnosticism. I'm also an award-winning writer, and I recommend my novella, The Bottomless Bottle of Beer, to anyone interested. I'm originally from the Arkansas Ozarks, but my academic career -- funded through doctoral and postdoctoral fellowships (e.g., Fulbright, Naumann, Lady Davis) -- has taken me through Texas, California, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, and Israel and has landed me in Seoul, South Korea. I've also traveled to Mexico, visited much of Europe, including Moscow, and touched down briefly in a few East Asian countries. Hence: "Gypsy Scholar."

"Getting tired of excellence? Also of mediocrity? Stop reading my blog."
Skirting that weird boundary between avant-garde and just plain ol' crotchety.
How's the Missus healing up?
Her arm is healing faster than expected and should be back to normal in a year or two. Just kidding - she's expected to be fine again in two or three weeks.

The blogosphere is pregnant with found objects.
(erm, wait a sec, did I just write a poem?)
((and was that a poem, too?!))
(((and that?!)
((((and))))
It's turtles all the way down.
