I haven't written because I keep reading that damn forum. I'm obsessed with how unbelievably mean people are to perfect strangers. It's rather addictive, much like bad television and trashy novels written in a weekend that lack editing. Somehow I can't get enough.
Yesterday I returned a stack of books to the library. I have a knack for arriving on campus at inopportune moments. A crowd of Knights of Columbus was assembled outside the library steps, and I nearly plowed right into the newly ordained Cardinal (Donald Wuerl, formerly Archbishop of the Washington-- not sure what he'll be now, but he can wear red). He was celebrating his first Mass as Cardinal- I was depositing a mountain of READ books at the library. It was a day of high emotions for all.
My current quandary has to do with the nature of my sources. I've come upon some books with rather intriguing titles, but they are very mass-market and seem to lack scholarly credibility. I've vowed to load these books onto my Kindle and read them "in my free time" (i.e. skim them while brushing my teeth one morning). My advisor has agreed to meet with me before Christmas, so with any luck, that meeting will inspire me to write the introduction.
Keith, thanks for making sure I didn't burn the Tater Tots this time.
