Well, that was a false start. But I remain undeterred. There's so much to blog about - our trip to the former leper (Hansen's disease) colony on Moloka'i and the heart-grinding reading I did while there; Satyajit Ray's Chekhovian Music Room and the Fellini-tinged, pharaonic wonder of Cairo Station, the weeklong visit from my Dorothy Parker-esque grandmother, my wrangle with Spinoza - and the term's just beginning this week. So... what better time to blog up a storm?

Happy Labor Day, all. May your labors be fruitful and fair, and your three-day weekends be giddy and hedonistic.
