To blog for me is a stretch. I am, well, intermittently paranoid about the diffusion of personal information, if not also skeptical about impersonal monologues (it might just be narcissistic, oh well). With regard to information, you'll probably notice a scarcity of identifying info (unless I drop my guard). No names, except Jax who has already been outed. I don't mind putting his picture up too, since he's in disguise anyway.
What will be the content of the blog? Could be anything, but the regular visitor will notice pet topics ;) Of course, Jax will be a popular one, as I try to channel the Monks of New Skete in our training regimen. No doubt, the dog will teach me much - and I will share. In addition, I'll probably write about theology, poor people, and science as these are all parts of my daily life. It will not be as neat and tidy as the "science and theology of poor people." Rather, it will be more of an ongoing narrative with many loci for orientation. Jax, the poor, modern science, and Christian theology will all have to be read together, and somehow get along. These many loci, the intertextuality of the narrative, should help to keep me honest. There is no privileged position to occupy after all, no moving the Earth with a rational lever (if we are to meld Archimedes and the Enlightenment in order to say something post-Enlightenment).
Welcome to all you anonymous souls. I hope that your anonymity is fleeting.
