I kind of miss being in an academic context. I don't really miss homework, or tests, or
professors, or anything, just the context where it's not merely possible but encouraged
to sit down and have a free, intense, wide-ranging discussion about something that has no
real immediate or practical bearing on the world, but is just interesting to think about.
Maybe I should look into some sort of research position. On the other hand, I enjoy it,
but I'm not so sure I'm really good at it, so maybe I shouldn't. :-P
