break from blogging

I'm thinking of shutting down the blog...life and writing have gotten the upper hand...as well as a new office "Director the UCI Humanities Center": I don't want to compromise the voice here, but I also don't want my readers to mistake any statements I make here as emanating from that office.

Thank you to my readers! And feel free to email me and send me stuff you think will be of interest. I will do my best to reply and respond. I hope to finish the manuscript -- Modernity and its Discontents by December!
