Those who know me know that I’m regularly over-committed. I teach a lot; I’m on many committees; there are vague attempts at a social life. There are many doctors’ appointments. Sometimes there are more things to do than others. The galleys came for the book this week, so that’s certainly something to do. And [...]  I haven’t been writing because I haven’t been sleeping. I keep waking up every day at around three a.m. and then I can’t get back to sleep for about an hour. But I wanted to share this quick thought about the news today.

I didn’t quite proclaim him my god, but I proclaimed him. (You can scroll down a bit to see what I said.) According to this New York Times article, Raj [...] In the Loop on IN THE LOOP is here: http://www.matchflick.com/column/2100 When I was a child, my great-grandmother would tell me that she wanted some sugar, which meant that she wanted a hug and a kiss.
