After a lapse of some months, Daniel Nichols has started posting at Caelum et Terra again. The main page now has five or six new posts, and Daniel has learned how to manage the blog himself (he had been emailing posts to me) and plans to keep it active, so check it out.

Sunday Night Journal —February 6, 2011 A Few Seconds of Panic, by Stefan Fatsis. Football season is over, so it’s a bit late for me to be mentioning this book, but maybe anyone who’s interested will be as dilatory as I am and won’t get around to reading it till late next summer. It’s one…
