SO: On a good day, where I'm productive and engaged in moving my argument forward, I consider myself to have done well if I can get one medium-sized idea written down (along with whatever underbrush-clearing previous days' argumentation has left me). Today, I was lucky to get three significant ideas--one on how the background conceptions one might have work their way from beliefs to the arguments one ends up making to others, and two on using customary international law as a way of sorting out rights and duties. Combine that with today's very excellent weather, getting to Chapel Hill early enough to sit in the gardens for awhile before class started, and an appropriately spring-ish song ("Paris 2004" by Peter, Bjorn and John).
So yes, life seems pretty good today.

that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
