checking in

Did I really go a couple of days without making a post? Looks like it. I’ve been really busy finishing up the book, attending pre-semester meetings, and also enjoying the restoration of normal Cairo social life now that people are starting to return from their wise forays abroad. (Cairo really isn’t a good place to be in August, but for the third straight year, that’s how it worked out.)

In the meantime, I received another invitation to speak in Paris, this one for late September. It’s sooner than I felt like traveling again after the upcoming Manchester talk, but only a fool turns down a free trip to Paris.

Also, with mail service finally restored on campus after the August lull, I finally received the long-awaited extra volumes of Suárez and David Lewis.

I’m not sure how much you’ll see me here on the blog over the next few days, but I’ll at least post some semi-final “Composition of Philosophy” statistics before departing for England.
