Truckin’ forward
Welcome to my new old blog. My old-old (but not oldest) blog—the one I’ve written since 2007—is still there, in complete archival form, at blogs.harvard.edu/doc, where it has always been.

Dancing on fire
It’s hard to feel shitty when the Steve Miller Band is playing Jet Airliner in the middle of your head. Or smart, either — at least in my case. Jeebus, all these decades I’ve been thinking the chorus was Big old jet had a light onDon’t carry me too far awayOh oh oh big… Continue reading
