Most of the most thoughtful and wisest people aren’t writing blogs; the same with the people whom I owe the most. They may not even be much on the Internet, or only intermittently so (you know who you are). I wish I could link to blogs by all kinds of teachers, colleagues and friends, who must go unnamed and unlinked!

The person most directly supporting me in the writing of this is Kim, and I’d especially like to acknowledge her.
