How is it that academia can take even the most intrinsically fascinating subject matter and suck all of the fun out of it. It's something I've marveled at since my first year of university. Dullness is the academy's greatest crime against the intellect.
Oh and don't worry about not following the news...nothing much has happened while you've been gone. Well maybe a few things. Okay a lot of things happened. But trust me, you will want to spare yourself the agony of getting caught up on the "news" of the last week. Suffice it to say that the public health establishment is as horrendously incompetent, shortsighted, and thoroughly corrupt as when you left.
Re the conference, sounds like yet another soul killing test brought to you by academia and accredition. We are good at soul killing, pay good money for it. We are funny.
Life is disorienting without regular doses of Eugyppius

Enjoy your time off!

Dear Eugyppius, You are worth the wait.
That's the 'managerial class' doing what they do best, i.e., managing western civilization right into massive decline
OMG I have soooo been there. Most professional conferences absolutely suck.
Your purgatory is our purgatory.
Great to have you back. I hope there was decent coffee at the conference.
Eugyppius posts are always worth waiting for.

Lovely photo Eugyppius. Looking forward to your next much needed cerebral antidote
Keine Sorgen! I am sure your future posts will be as sharp as ever!
No pressure! Post again when you feel inspired...
Looking forward to it.
Hey welcome back! The world is still crazy, the herd has been stampeding almost daily … exciting times for sharp commentators!
Intensely boring panel sessions kill audience brain cells. Fact. Running for one’s life is just plain good sense.
