Hegel, a measured suspicion of Whig history, and Backyard Baseball: three of my favorite things which I have yet to see discussed in one venue, 'til now. Your father was obviously a fascinating person and these essays have brought his vibrant spirit to the fore of what is being discussed; not engaging with him at OSU when I attended and had the chance will always be one of my biggest regrets.

The timing of this essay is interesting. I was speaking with my wife the night prior, still very much upset and trying to work through it. One of the things I shared with her is that this event, your Father’s passing, was going to be the catalyst to push me into the 3rd phase of my life, just as he did ~20 years ago, pushing me into my 2nd phase. Who knows if it’ll be proven true or simply pass, but it’s certainly guiding me now.
