Pax et bonum everyone! I have been very busy with travel and have had little time to post lately. But I have had a lot on my mind for sure, per usual. Here I am presenting a miscellany of thoughts I've been mulling over for awhile. I'd been marinating these for future articles, but I don't think I'll ever have the time, so I'm just giving them to you here in seed form. None of these are entirely fleshed out, so they are somewhat rough and ripe for criticism. Enjoy.
