So I've been trying to come up with something important and fitting to say for the first post on this, the new blog and website for all of my classes. I wanted it to be something deep and profound, something that throws down the gauntlet, charts a course for the future, and maybe meets the minimum requirements for the appropriate application of a few other overused metaphors as well. But thanks to a link I found at The Underground Thomist, I think I'll just hand the first post over to John Cleese... And welcome back, Class of 2018. I hope you had a great summer. Now let's get started.
