[META] In Other Blogs

I've one post at The Head Heeb asking what can be done to preserve diasporas in liberal societies, and another post at GNXP looking at an article in The New Yorker on the Russian HIV/AIDS epidemic.

[NON BLOG] Thanksgiving Note

I've just come from my second Thanksgiving dinner, hosted ably by talktooloose and his.

I was going to post a long and sentimental message, but it got chewed up by Livejournal and I really had only one thing to say, so I'll say it: I consider myself thankful that I've got so many good friends, and remain bemused but pleased that they've been able to put up with me. Thanks. :-)
