David, in my own internal philosophy, I can't figure out if that quote is an insult or a compliment--for you or for me. Because your blog makes me laugh my head off. So, is that because you are a great thinker, which makes your blog fun to read. Or because I'm a great thinker, laughing at the most inappropriate moments? Well, a piece of Dove chocolate I ate a little while back had this written inside it's wrapper, "Don't think about it so much." It's been sitting by my computer now for an appropriate moment to apply it. So I'll apply it now and stop thinking about it. Because, regardless of who the great thinker is here, I thoroughly enjoy your blog. The thinking stuff AND the family updates. I love it how you can take serious stuff seriously, but still make it seem funny. “Thinkers laugh at the most inappropriate moments.”

Add that to my usual chaotic spelling and you have all sorts of trouble. I'm starting to regret putting you in my list.

I've noticed all my normal commenters have been more than usually quiet during this series. But I promise it will end this month and then I can get back to the kinds of things Greek geeks like such as the intricacies of the Greek present participle. So true, Peter.

Well, it started with your life. But the last post is more about your wife and children. Will the next one be about your kittens? If so, I'm sure you'll riff on them, whatever that means. It's great to have a blog to read which gives me a break from thinking! And encourages me to feel for you, your family and your work. My ancestors were called Kirke. Yours may well have been called Kerr, the commoner Scottish spelling. Or maybe they were Kirke too and someone dropped the final "k" sound. Perhaps Eddie has been replaced by one of his ancestors.
