Brainstorming about history, politics, literature, religion, and other topics from a 'gypsy' scholar on a wagon hitched to a star.
"I think, therefore I am," quod he to me.

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."

I sense layers of irony.
Kevin! Good of you to visit. I tried to post a comment on your blog a couple of weeks back, but it must have perished in the last Covid.
By the way, Doesn't "Covid" sound like one of Santa's reindeer?"

Covid probably took over for Rudolph.
Do you have an address to which I can mail you a book?
Send me an email, and I'll send it back with the secret address. I'll also send the secret decoder ring since you lost the next-to-last one in the gymnasium. Oh, I assume that we're talking about that secret thing that we're planning to do that'll make us a lot of money. Don't be a blabbering mouth this time. Be quiet about this thing since we're sure to get rich if we're careful. Finally, don't loiter around the bank like last time, or they'll recognize you. Also, don't dress up in a clown suit again unless it's a different clown suit.
I'll disguise my name in this email:

Off topic, but of interest. Please tell the world!
(er, "clown suit"?)
I believe it will raise the worth of my website.
This layout is amazing!
I was almost inspired to start my own blog because of your humor and videos. Excellent work.
