Ahem.

A few people have pointed out that I've strayed remarkably far from my goal, articulated here over a month ago, to post daily. Allow me to explain: i've been busy. 'nuff said.

I'm sure I've lost readers with my extended absences, but I'm hopeful that those of you discovering this blog months from now and following my recent posting surge back to this one will find that I did make a true effort to write interesting comments on whatever happens to pass through my head at the moment. (Heeead! Pants! Now!).

At this moment, passing through my head, or more precisely into my mouth, is some red wine. Bourdeaux, if you must know, a 2001 vintage which I picked up this evening to accompany my review of Judge Learned Hand's views on the First Amendment. I have a fair amount of work to get done tomorrow, but I thought I'd take tonight off and relax a little, albeit doing a little work at the same time. Neha was visiting this past week, and so I didn't get too much work done....there's a lot to catch up on.
