It seems that I have returned.

Which, of course, means that the average quality of material available on the internet will once more decline- if only infinitesimally. I am still getting back on my feet following my whirlwhind trip- about which you will hear more sooner or later- and so have very little to post about today.

I suppose the most interesting thing I could comment on is that it seems that Talcott Parsons has found my blog. Of course, as we sociologists know, Talcott Parsons is quite dead so I suppose it isn't Talcott Parsons who has located my blog, so much as Zombie Talcott Parsons. Even more susprising, Zombie-Parsons hasn't just started posting comments on my blog, he's actually opened up a blog of his own. Will the undead leave nothing for the sole use of the living?

I suppose I might be concerned about my apparent zombie-following, but it just doesn't seem like that big a deal. In the first place, zombies seem to be primarily interested in eating brains and, as any longtime reader knows, I should therefore be of little interest to most zombies. As for the rest... well... I suppose their shambling advance might be a bit disconcerting, but I feel that I am AGIL enough to avoid them.

Thank you, thank you. You're too kind.
