Welcome to the Thinking Grounds!
Note: This blog is now retired. I no longer stand behind everything I have written here; while I have indicated reversals of opinion in many places, I am sure there are posts I have forgotten about. Please feel free to follow me at my new blog.
This is a place where I think out loud about questions that are troubling me. You can find out more about me in the About page. My interests are eclectic, but I often frame things in terms I'm familiar with from my time studying English literature.
