Although I was never a part of the great election debate I'm back too. I have finished my "sabbatical" and will post over the next few weeks on a few of the items I've been thinking about. Some, but not all of them are the ones I listed before I left.

I listened to numerous Objectivist courses and carefully studied Peikoff's "Understanding Objectivism" and the advanced seminar on OPAR. My study method was to listen to the disks once in the car. Then I listened to them again in 15 minute parts, taking careful notes, and thinking about what I had heard. I also re-read OPAR in conjunction with that course. It was a great education and I highly recommend both the courses and the method.

As usual I read many other things. I spent a lot of time playing and studying poker.
