I was searching for an old post in preparation for responding to Ewan's comment on Idle Speculation when I came upon this brief item that I posted a year and a half ago. I liked it so much that I decided to post it again. No one has ever accused me of modesty, false or otherwise.
A HARD ACT TO FOLLOW
December 26th, the day each year that falls between Jesus' birthday and mine.

About Me
- Robert Paul Wolff
- As I observed in one of my books, in politics I am an anarchist, in religion I am an atheist, and in economics I am a Marxist. I am also, rather more importantly, a husband, a father, a grandfather, and a violist.
