I know, it's been six months since my last post, but this is the first day in a long time I've felt upbeat about things in my life. (So I thought I'd better post while it lasts, right?)
Like many people, I've been very overwhelmed the last few months, especially since the fall semester started. (I don't want to get into it, but I nearly quit my job several times the last couple months.) With only a few weeks left in the semester, as meetings become less frequent and classes begin to wrap up, I think I've finally got a handle on things.
In particular, this past weekend—yes, Thanksgiving weekend—I was very productive, getting a lot of things done and off my plate. As a result, everything is finished for my course through the end of the semester; I finally completed a long overdue handbook chapter; and all my outstanding referee reports are in. Now I can look forward to receiving the page proofs of my upcoming book—the one I finished this summer—and to getting back to work on my current book-in-progress, as well as the next handbook chapter (and the books after that). More on these things as they approach completion.
I've also managed to keep up with twice-weekly posts at the Virtues of Captain America blog, as well as returning to semi-regular blogging at Psychology Today as of August and relaunching the Economics and Ethics blog as of September, where I try (not always successfully) to post several times a week about new papers, books, and events relevant to economics and ethics.
The next you'll hear from me (aside from the other blogs and Twitter) should be at the end of the year, after I've turned <gasp> fifty and my second half-century begins. Who knows what's coming on the other side?
