academic philosophy

We've had family visiting us from Los Angeles for the past month or so. The latest visitors are my brother, his wife, and his daughter.

Having my 18 month old niece here for the past several days has temporarily put much of my abstract thinking on the back burner.

And in fact I have absolutely no complaints. I'm not saying that academic philosophy is not important... not by any stretch... I'm just saying that having an 18 month old kid around puts academic philosophy in perspective.

Here we are in the "amber box" at the Guthrie Theatre.
