A suck which included going in to work EARLY when I planned not to go at ALL, as well as getting stuck in a broken elevator...<BR/><BR/>Wow! I'm not normally quite so complainy.<BR/><BR/>Stephen Pinker is great. I've only read <I>The Stuff of Thought</I> but his other books are on my list (which, of course, grows faster than I can read the books on it).<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I won't be able to make it to the first half of tomorrow, but I am HOPING to make it to the afternoon.<BR/><BR/>Lastly, I just noticed an unacceptable number of typos in this post...

I've been meaning to read some of his books for quite a while, and seeing him in person may provide just the impetus I've been looking for.Saganisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12935512878581351503noreply@blogger.com
