Second Draft proprietor and BU Professor, Richard Landes has kindly agreed to do some guest blogging here at Solomonia for the next week or two or whenever...please give him a warm welcome.

He'll be posting about, well, whatever he'd like, as frequently or infrequently as he'd like.

The info contained in his first post is a real doozy (I'm setting the clock back on this post so his appears above it)!

Welcome to the blogosphere, Professor Landes!

(Oh, and I should mention that Professor Landes is only responsible for what he himself writes. Anything doofy or irresponsible that comes off of my keyboard is on my head alone, of course.)
