I have obviously been absent from this here blog for a long time (well obvious to those who are not themselves also absent).

This post is to let whomever is reading know that I am in the midst of reading the year or so of backlog which I need to catch up on, and that I will soon enough make some posts of my own.

I'm in a class this semester which was supposed to be a pro-seminar, seniors and grad students only, on political behavioral theory. In order to get in I had to sign a pledge to the Prof. that I would have the reading done with a page of notes by class time each day. I expected TASP-like readings & student-lead discussion, but in return found only morose PoliSci majors ready to get out of Nebraska.

It was week 3 or so of the class when I realized I miss everyone from TASP, and especially the learning environment we had, much more than I realized. If I'm ever on the east-coast (where you all seem to be these days) I absolutely must sit down and have some honest-to-god intellectual discussions with anyone willing. I love Nebraska, but it's short on intellectual discussions these days.

BTW- anyone in Washington DC very often? I'm on the Campus Progress advisory board, and as such, fly in and out of DC every month or so.
