9/22: unsystematic but something

I am trying to pull together an abstract for a paper, and I've done scattered thinking on the topic over several years, taking unorganized notes on related articles and books.  The lack of organization is not a good thing and something I need to rectify (though not now, as I'm trying to get the abstract done).  But it is good that I made some time today to think about the ideas, poke through some old notes, and collect new bits of bibliography.
