So, here I am in Arizona, still 9 Mar 2008 Yeah, yeah, OK, I know I’ve been absent except on the comments, but I’m traveling, all right? Everything I have worth saying gets said over beer or whiskey, tonight to Jim Lippard and John Lynch, the latter of whom is my present host. I must thank Malte Ebach for his hospitality over the past week too. On to Utah on Wednesday. Lynch tells me I’m off to see fossils and stuff in Tucson tomorrow. I hope he means geological fossils, and not my contemporaries. Even I think I’m an old fogey. Speaking of fogeys, it’s PZ Mashgvsihem’s birthday. He is only slightly less fogeyish than I – he has three 17 year olds in his head, while I have them plus a one year old, which is why it’s so noisy inside here. Despite his complete lack of appreciation of subtle philosophy, he’s really not so bad for a cephalopod loving Satanic destroyer of all that is decent.

Administrative Where’s Wilkins? 20 Sep 201122 Jun 2018 I’ve been hard to spot lately. There are Developments that have kept me from your view. Last week I was working in a warehouse packing CDs into delivery boxes, and bitching about my back, feet and general well being. This week I am preparing to move to Melbourne (approx. 900km… Read More
Administrative Knees, ligaments and evolving thoughts 5 Oct 2012 I’m really sorry I’ve been quiet so long. It’s not for lack of thoughts. First I went to Sydney to work on my Nature of Classification book and then attend a workshop on the future of history and philosophy (and social studies) of science in Australia. And then I came… Read More
He is only slightly less fogeyish than I – he has three 17 year olds in his head, while I have them plus a one year old, which is why it’s so noisy inside here. I’ve no idea what you are chundering on about. I’ve got you both beat by a handful and I’m still trying to work out how to become a responsible adult. Old fogies indeed, don’t you know that life begins at seventy.
