I’ve decided to take it somewhat easy for the rest of the week, so I won’t post another podcast until Monday.

I’d hoped to post my next episode of Rationally Selfish Radio yesterday. However, the topic — of the proper response to offers of government welfare — is somewhat tricky, so I want to work out my views carefully. Plus, I have other pressing work. Tomorrow, I’m giving a short talk to Front Range Objectivism on Luck and Liberty, so I need to finish preparing for that. Also, I really want to finish up all the web updates that I started last week. Oh, and I’m trying to get to the bottom of some health problems too — hypothyroidism, I think. That’s taking some time, and I’m just not feeling as zesty for life as usual. So a break seems in order!

From what I hear, some of you could use some time to catch up. So get to it!

In the meantime, enjoy this picture of Conrad playing with a Boxer at the dog park this morning. They were doing more vertical jumping than I’ve ever seen Conrad do; the Boxer has all four paws off the ground in the picture. (Click for the full-sized version.)
