Thanks for the well wishes, Jeff, on Thanksgiving eve no less. Yes, all is well. I spoke with them last night. As it goes over there - as I used to tell yous when I was there - our media always makes things seem worse than they actually are on the ground. By and large, from what Gino said, all is normal there. The day-to-day presses on. The attack was limited to that tiny island that butts right up with the North. I feel for the loss of life and the destruction of homes. We probably are in for some cantankerousness out of the North given the impending regime change from crazy father to loony son, who will want to "establish" himself.  There is a power struggle going on there behind the scenes according to my wife. ... Anyway, again, Jeff, thank you for thinking of us.

Glad to hear they are ok...... You all are definitely in my thoughts. It is crazy what the North Korean leaders will do. I guess they figure as long as China sticks by them, they can do whatever the hell they want
On a side note, I wonder how true the reports are that the South Koreans want our military back in bigger force. Didn't they desperately want us to leave a few years back (except for the DMZ of course)?

... and we are not helping matters further indebting ourselves to China.

Yea, that claim is unbelievable. However, I guess what is meant is that they would like us to roll  in for now, like the flex of a bicep, but then go away when things calm back down... as they always do.

Got my first BIG-time essay publication in a journal... Received this today...
Dear Steve,
I am delighted to report that we intend to include your article 'Unfolding Mozi's Standard of Sound Doctrine' in the forthcoming issue of the journal - August 2011, Volume 21 Number 3.
You will be alerted when the proofs are available for you on the publisher's website.
I think we have all we need to proceed with publication, but I'll be in touch if there's anything more we need.
Best wishes,
Brian

Congrats on the write up on the website.
Best of luck Steve!!! I somehow think it will go well!!!

I think so, too... But, remember I specialize in all the non-traditional stuff, Eastern thought, and, even on the Western side of the ball, I mainly do Wojtyla. NONE of this will be on the exam...  That stuff is just a side dish to the History of Western Philosophy that we have to know. This is the predicament a person with interests like mine, who wants to study the material in the light of Philosophy and not Religious Studies, has to endure. Indeed, most professors in Philosophy Departments who do the Eastern stuff do not have their higher degrees, their Ph.D.'s at least, in Philosophy. They typically have their degrees in Religious Studies or Asian Studies or something like that. To wit, my guy, Dr. Berger here at SIU has his Ph.D. in Religious Studies, and remember that I too wound up in a "Philosophy and Religion" program for a year of my graduate school career. Anyway, bottom line, if you want to do the Eastern stuff or a "seemingly" more theological figure like Wojtyla in a Philosophy Department, you have to know that that is a side dish and you still have to know all the regular Philosophy stuff.  Anyway, I will be happy when I am just dissertating, and I hope that that is not delayed any further.

Well, Day 1, metaphysics and epistemology, is over with,... and I am mentally drained. I think it went well... We'll see...  Now it is on to Ethics, Social and Political Philosophy, and Aesthetics... Still doing a little,...  especially now that I kind of better know what to expect. Well, over and OUT...

Well, guys and gals, this story just keeps getting better and better (and more and more ironic for those in the know as to my trials and tribulations over the last five or so months, and I am not talking about the doctoral prelim exam)... To recap, I recently succeed in getting an essay published in a big-time (top-four) journal in my field, which in academia is a feather,... nay,... a plume in my cap, especially since I am not yet even ABD (All But Dissertation)! I just thought, especially as just a Ph.D. student, that my piece would be tucked in somewhere in the middle or even toward the end of the issue. Well, when it came out, there is immediate access to the on-line version, and, when I went to the page for the "current issue", let's just put it this way: I did NOT have to scroll! Here is the link; you can see what I mean yourself: http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/casp20/current. Sequencing is not chosen willy-nilly, mind you. I could not believe my eyes.  I know some of the other authors. They are professors, with doctorates. This is BIG! BUT, get this... The story gets even better... I, just for the fun of it, click on the link for the "Most Read" articles for the journal. When I did this, I saw one particular essay on the list by a former colleague of mine back at UH who is still a Ph.D. student like myself (actually, she is a candidate) and was curious to take a look at it when I had a little free time. So, I returned to the "Most Read" section yesterday for that purpose, and, 'lo and behold, just THREE days into publication mind you (the date of publication is 9/6/11), what was (already) on that list? My essay (the only one from the current issue, mind you)! Here is a link to that: http://www.tandfonline.com/action/showMostReadArticles?journalCode=casp2 0. Suffice it to say, I am flabbergasted! I guess now I am just waiting for the fallout. Anyway, UNbelievable, and the backstory, which is a little long to be explaining here, only makes it WAY more so!

All, what a roller-coaster ride the Steggies were on yesterday!!! It truly was the  good, the  bad and the  ugly!!! Perhaps more precisely put, and put in order of occurrence, it was the ridiculously half-baked, the incredulously  half-bad (thank God, only half), and the, yet again in the world of Steg, semi-triumphant  AND, moreover, TOTALLY ironic. It ALL just happened in one 24-hour period this time. Life, when truly pressed, shows itself to be the theater of the absurd that it ultimately is and that almost all are ultimately lulled into, and I guess I am getting better at "acting" in this absurd theater... and hastening things along.
Bottom line, right now, it is ALL VERY in flux. When the dust finally settles, I will probably give you all a glimpse into it all. IN ANY EVENT, the thing is, the effects of these developments will surely be felt here on "the Gridiron" and in the GBRFL. In other words, what was once looking like one of the easiest autumns I have had in a looooong time, one during which I envisioned really kicking back a little bit and enjoying life and football at a little slower pace and sinking my teeth back into here, has actually - believe it or not - likely turned into the greatest pressure-cooker I will have ever had to endure, both for the bad and, ironically, for the good.

I need a(nother) little (ironic) pick-me-up these days...
After dropping a few spots over several days, I have cracked the Top 10!!! "Unfolding Mozi's Standard of Sound Doctrine" currently sits at #10: http://www.tandfonline.com/action/showMostReadArticles?journalCode=casp2 0.

Guys, I am headed into one of the hugest meetings of my life here at high noon (local time). Please send me some good vibrations. (Any pending IM's I will respond to this afternoon. I apologize for delaying. At the moment, though, my mind is just elsewhere; my heart is beating fairly rapidly, and, frankly speaking, I am a bit lightheaded.) Just wish me some good luck, please...

Things with the meeting went smoothly, by the way. I have another next week, though, which will be more "informative". Meanwhile,...
