From March, 2009 through May, 2012 I kept a blog, The Devil’s Workshop<\/em>, this in homage to the new-found idleness of mind I imagined I would finally experience after my retirement as academic and Dean of Arts at the University of Ottawa.<\/p>\n

For some\u00a0months the blog borrowed\u00a0the moniker The Observatory<\/em>, in honor of the UC-Irvine observatory, which used to sit a mere 150 yards\u00a0from our home in University Hills.<\/p>\n
