Settling In

Sunday, September 1, 2002 at 10:02AM

Sorry for the lack of updates lately. We’ve been slowly settling in to Melbourne. Zack loves his childcare, but settling in has meant a range of new infections in quick succession. (Conjunctivitis, a severe ear infection and gastroenteritis.) The latter, he managed to give to me, and this has meant that I now have new insight into the etymology of the term “wretched.”

Still, here are a few highlights of recent weeks. First, my logic students (they’re bright and enthusiastic), the logic seminars we’ve run each Friday for the last few weeks (it’s great to be in a place where we have the critical mass to sustain a regular seminar), the Bell Shakespeare production of The Comedy of Errors (in the pre-play warmup when the magician Pinch was doing a range of tricks, he used my jacket for one—the ubiquitous “I’ll make you think I’ve put this knife through your nice jacket” trick), and today’s Father’s Day extravaganza, featuring nice presents (things to read) and a wonderful breakfast, and a Zachary who slept in until 7:30am! Things are OK.

Thought

Few persons care to study logic, because everybody conceives himself to be proficient enough in the art of reasoning already. But I observe that this satisfaction is limited to one’s own ratiocination, and does not extend to that of other men.
