This is how punchy I get at the end of the semester. I wrote THIS IS THE TITLE PAGE on one of my paper drafts so I could set up the pagination properly and then go back and insert the title material later. Several hours later, I mischeviously inserted the word "not" in between "the" and "title" in a conscious homage to Ren Magritte. . Not satisfied with this little diversion, I began singing the words "This is not a title page" to the tune of Public Image Limited's This is not a Love Song. The song has been a favorite of mine ever since my college days when I helped organize a "coup" at the campus radio station where we replaced the morning classical hour with punk rock. But that's another story....

Don't worry, I'll surface soon.
