Thanks to David Kemmerer I am no longer languishing in obscurity for our Cognitive Neuropsychology article.
With his 10 downloads, my 6 assumed identities, and my parents the count is up to 18.
I'm convinced that Jonathan Peelle has found some way to script the count so that for every download the N drops by 2.
Is it possible that only five people in the entire world read this article that took me ten thousand hours to finish?
Ah, the irony of it all...
I'm in Orlando today at the Florida Association for Speech Pathology giving a talk on Primary Progressive Aphasia. I arrive at the airport last night and pick up my rental car. The man at the counter asks me a seemingly innocuous question that sends me into a tailspin:
"Are you just yourself?"
On the face of things, I certainly understood his message. He simply wanted to know if anyone else would be driving his company's Ford Focus. Yet, his question was in fact existentially complex, and it kept me up for most of the night.
Could I possibly be more than just myself?... probably not. Could I be less than just myself? ...probably so. Am I just myself? -- I don't know.
I should be prepping my talk right now, but this question is haunting me. That's Jean Paul Sartre btw -- He seemed apt here.
I took the boy for his first camping trip at the Appalachian Trail this weekend. We camped at Blue Rocks near Lenhardtsville, PA. It was great fun, but tent camping with a 6-year-old is not for the faint of heart.
Last week's entry failed yet again. Here's this week's.

I didn't win the New Yorker caption contest.... Perhaps the time for bold predictions is over, although I'll likely issue another bold prediction about something entirely unrelated this week.
I am going to win this week's New Yorker caption contest. Nobody can beat this entry... and when I do win I am going to put this right on my CV....
I erroneously received an online order from Dominos Pizza in the UK. Just out of curiosity I checked to see what the person ordered. I was horrified to learn that the British have a pizza stuffed with hot dogs and mustard.
Baked beans and stewed tomatoes for breakfast wasn't sickening enough?
The Environmental Protection Agency must have heard about our six terabytes of toxic data spilled in North Philadelphia.
Technology is often so fickle, but our eyetracker seems to be working like a charm today.
Ever feel like you're just not getting anywhere in life?
Last week I visited the old stomping ground at the University of Florida. I took a little hike along the La Chua Trail, and the water level was very high. These lovers were sunning themselves on either side of the walking trail, forming a gauntlet. This trail wasn't in a zoo. These little darlings were right in front of me.
So boring.... such a waste of effort

In an attempt to lose one of my Christmas chins, I took to a treadmill at Temple today. I learned an important lesson about treadmills and athletic attire.
The lesson is this.... NEVER run on a treadmill wearing Chuck Taylors.
