Nixon, when are you coming to Philly, brother?
Bring the little lady. I'll bring mine. We'll make a day of it.
Being the only objectivist I know with a well-developed sense of humor (though in truth, I don't know many objectivists,) I truly do want to pick your brain about Rand, Aristotle, et al one of these days. However, my reading pace lately has been glacial, and besides, homework has a way of spoiling the recreational mindset.
Besides that, I have only 3 reasons ever to go to Philly: 1. Check out the Philadelphia Museum of Art, 2. shop at the excellent Goldberg's Army-Navy, and 3. sample some of Monk's 600+ beer collection and maybe have an order of mussels as well. The last is probably the best possibility, even though, in my current gravitationally-challenged physiological state, I've ironically become a pathetic lightweight when it comes to drinking. Don't really miss it, to tell you the truth --domestic bliss and all that. Still, it could be be fun. I'll PM you if I ever get around to making a day trip down there.
As for the better half, she'll have nothing to do with trolling or troll-ilk (she spends her days crushing the dreams of thousands of would-be authors at her job, so she never feels the need.) I have enough difficulty explaining the time I spend on this site as it is. What can I say; her tastes are very middle-of-the-road. In her defense, she could probably flatten the entire Mine Field ten times over with her encyclopedic pop-culture knowledge.
And yes, you DID TOO want to know my life story.
