It's a strange, happy day. :-) Dan ... A friend of mine, a retired teacher, emailed to tell me I don't have anything to worry about, with regard to my OOTI...
Dan: It's been kind of quiet here lately. Dunno exactly why. So here's what I have to say. I've been following the discussion over at Paleoanthro. I know...
Hi Anne, I'm not entirely sure why it gets slow like this, either. Where I'm at, it's summer time, and maybe a lot of field work and/or vacationing is going...

Thanks, Michael. I'll give it some thought, but I have no great interest in peer reviewed journals. I prefer more open formats, perhaps something like PLOS...
Just to spice things up a bit, because Anne is feeling abandoned over the fallow months, someone has just patented being God: * First patent claimed on...
