Not in the clamor of the crowded street, not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, but in ourselves, are triumph and defeat.--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

REDIRECT ALERT! (Scroll down past this mess if you're trying to read an archived post. Thanks. No, really, thanks.)

Due to my inability to control my temper and complacently accept continued silliness with not-quite-as-reliable-as-it-ought-to-be Blogger/Blogspot, your beloved Possumblog will now waddle across the Information Dirt Road and park its prehensile tail at http://possumblog.mu.nu.

This site will remain in place as a backup in case Munuvia gets hit by a bus or something, but I don't think they have as much trouble with this as some places do. ::cough::blogspot::cough:: So click here and adjust your links. I apologize for the inconvenience, but it's one of those things.

Via Miss Moira over at Inappropriate Response:

You might be surprised at how much fun it is to debate Cartesian theaters with a jesuitical little nine-year-old. The downside is that it's a sharp reminder that mama hasn't kept up with the latest advances in neuroscience or the current spit-ball and towel fights over the Nature of Consciousness. Or rather, mama is one of those people who owns more than one of what must be fascinating and informative tomes on the subject, and has downloaded any number of recent papers on the subject, but has not yet worked her way through to actually reading them. This little conversation may be the goad and spur to give them all higher priority on the "to read" list.

Hokey smokes, what do they feed kids in the Oregon Territory?! She's out yonder debating Carter's Liver Pills with her jehosephatical third grader, and I'm trying to get mine to take off her dirty clothes and take a bath before going to bed! Heaven help us all if they somehow join forces. Of course, it could make a pretty good TV show--Power Puff Girls meets The Odd Couple, with a touch of The Twilight Zone.
