Eclectic Miscellany

• Rondi Adamson has a column at the Trono Star this weekend about the demise of the Western Standard. Her column pulls no punches (she never does with her writing) and should be required reading, probably even more for people on the right than for the leftists out there.
• Mike Moffat was married yesterday.
• He won't win it this year, but there is a very good chance that some day in the future, Preston McAfee will win the Nobel Prize in economics for his work in auction theory. I see Bill Polley agrees with me that there is a good chance Bhagwati will win it this year.
• I think I must be the oldest person on Facebook:
  -- None of the 574 people with whom I graduated from high school (Muskegon, MI) is on Facebook. The last time I looked, no one from the previous year's class or the succeeding year's class was there either.
  -- None of the several hundred people with whom I graduated from Carleton College (Northfield, MN) is on Facebook. Ditto on previous and succeeding year's classes.
  -- None of the people with whom I attended Chicago Theological Seminary is on Facebook.
  -- If I'm not the oldest person there, I am surely among the oldest 0.5%.
• Speaking of Facebook, my older son wrote there that he is now 33% older than he was a quarter of a century ago his life ago [sorry for the transcription error, Kip]. I just realized that I am, too. It must run in the family.
