Well, our daughter’s wedding happened this past Saturday, and it was a splendid event. We still have guests in town, and follow-on activities, but things are getting back to normal around the Pollack household, and I’ll soon be back in harness here at the blog. Thank you all for your patience.

Meanwhile, here are just a few links:

‣ A chronological collection of the famous first two chords of Beethoven’s “Eroica” symphony.

‣ NOAA and NASA’s temperature data “are not a valid representation of reality“.

‣ Rod Dreher on Venice.

‣ Yes, men and women ARE different. (Duh.)

Normal operations will resume shortly.
