After a splendid repast with my lovely wife Nina at an outstanding local eatery, I sat down at the computer late this evening resolved finally to get a meaty post written on at least one of the topics I’ve had in my sights this weekend. At the front of the queue are responses to provocative recent essays by Bill Vallicella (to this one in particular I have a crisp response I want to set down) and Horace Jeffery Hodges. But instead, I spent my time in the comments thread of our earlier item about the Tunguska Event, writing a wordy and bloated response to an incisive comment by reader Andrew Staroscik.
And now it’s late, and I’m tired. And tomorrow we’ll be on the road all day, and won’t get home till the late evening. And then a busy work-week begins.
Oh well. Life is harsh, but at least it’s short.

Malcolm, I look forward to your response. I’ve been trying to clarify my intuition on “utterly nothing” but find the process maddeningly digressive.
Jeffery Hodges
