I made some fabulous blueberry pancakes for breakfast this morning and since I have a lot of batter left over I guess lunch is sorted also. 👍

Just read The Lake Boy by @arrroberts — a remarkable novella, like an 18th c. Gothic romance but with illicit sex, New Testament history, metaphysics, and The Thing Itself. Superb.
Now that the World Cup is over and it’s time to turn back to baseball … I’m feeling less than enthusiastic about baseball
I missed everything except the Lloris buffoonery and I did it for CHURCH, for GOD, okay?? So you can stop questioning the depths of my Christian commitment now thank you very much
So it’s
France 3 Croatia 1 Mandzukic 2

Couldn’t watch the first hour of the match because I was speaking in church but nbd I only missed SIX GOALS
I had completely forgotten, until @drdrang reminded me, that for a couple of years the primary way I used Twitter was on a site called Hahlo — it was miles and miles better than the Twitter mobile interface at the time (or now, for that matter).

I think one difference between @kfitz’s experience and mine is that she has had the courage and resourcefulness to do more of her work in public, which has allowed her blog to play a more substantive role in the making of her books. Whereas I’m just hiding away and typing.
This is a really interesting post by @kfitz in response to my posts on blogging and scholarship. Fascinating how different the experiences can be of people in more-or-less the same field.

So apparently the first copy of my new book is at my office. But to see it I would actually have to go to my office. So far the desire to avoid my workplace is stronger than the desire to see my new book. (I mean, I know what’s in it, so….)
Every time I go back and take a peek at Twitter I am amazed all over again by the topics people think they can have meaningful arguments about on Twitter. There are many good things you can do on that platform, but meaningful argument isn’t one of them.

I owe those posts largely to interactions with @austinkleon, @robinsloan, and @dancohen.
I originally posted these out of order, but I think that’s fixed now. Two posts on the intellectual possibilities of blogging:
Re: yesterday’s reference to Oakeshott, see an Oakeshottian essay of mine on what I call “Ecclesial Plurality”.
I think I would totally love working at home all the time if I could suppress that part of my brain that is forever asking “So what is there to eat in the house?”
