Well, it's Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. Is anyone here getting ashes? I've always assumed that it is only a Catholic thing, but I'd be interested to know if I'm wrong.

I will be later this evening. The morning services conflicted with a class that I was in, so I'll be going later.
The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.
