Wha? What Happened? Blog?

I just wanted to respond to a posting on the Freakonomics blog. and the sticky features of Blogger seem to have led me to creating a blog of my own! That's impressive marketing, or whatever you want to call it. Oh well, let's see how it goes. I've run a blog under this name in the past (using Movable Type) but gave it up when I realized that being profound on a daily basis was beyond me. But I'm willing to be led down the garden path once more, at the end of which lies, not fame, certainly not fortune, but membership in what passes for intellectual community these days.
