ReplyDeleteThanks! Lots of interesting things going on over there - I've been intrigued by the range of topics so far. I'm excited to have some time to read a few things while I'm on spring break this week. If I get enough work done tomorrow, I'm rewarding myself with the articles on human realism and sexual conservatism.
