Howdy!

I’m glad you stopped by for a visit.  Unfortunately, I’m not entirely prepared to receive guests right now.  You see, I’m still building this here website.

I’m traveling in South America right now, and, as you might be aware, traveling in a foreign country trying to learn the language is a pretty all consuming activity.  I hope you can forgive me for not having the website all finished and pretty looking and full of neat ideas right this moment.  I’ll be sure to let everybody who follows my Twitter or knows me on Facebook know the moment I’ve got something more interesting up here.

In the meantime, I strongly recommend you read this article.  (As you read find the ideas behind the antiquated language, it was written in the 1930s)  It had a profound impact on me, and is a conversation that we, as a society, badly need to have.  Also, I have two partly defunct blogs MakingTable and IfYouNeverDid (this one gets updated intermittently).  If you’re interested in me, those might be a good place to start.

If you’re trying to get ahold of me, try james [dot] carp [at] gmail [dot] com.  (I’m sure you’re smart enough to make that into a working e-mail address.)

This website graciously and generously hosted by the fabulous Sarah Dopp!
