Getting a post ready Open Thread

Sorry for the long silence today.  I hit the ground running a little over 8 hours ago, and this is the first time I’ve sat down since then. I’m a little tired, but I’m also quite pleased with what I accomplished.  The days I hate are the ones that see me running hither and yon without actually getting anything done.  Today, I got things done.  I’ve got several hours more stuff to do before I can call it quits (including an MRI see what’s making my knee such a pain in the . . . knee), but I needed a little sit down — and for me, sitting invariably involves either reading or writing.

Today it’s writing.  I’m working on a mildly substantive post about strong and weak ideologies.  It should be up in about 20 minutes.  I actually dictated most of it to my iPhone 5 while I was running errands, but I need to polish the content and correct all of the iPhone 5’s intelligent, but completely wrong, guesses about my dictated vocabulary choices.

I’ll be back here as soon as I can.
