Better

Better, in every way. The room may still be dark but I traded Anna for The Hives. The presentation went well enough and afterwards we went for some excellent Thai food at Koh Samui on Princess Street.

Marcel brought up Rawls & Me, saying that the weblog does not give away that many juicy details about my private life. True, but unlike other blogs that seamlessly blend the personal and the political, that has never been the programmatic purpose. Yet, I still find a value in not deleting posts, in accepting that there are misanthropic days as well as more hopeful ones.

Tomorrow the topic will be democratic deliberation, the role of listening in green political theory and the question of how to cope with intractable controversies. Sounds like useful stuff.
