Seems I've been tweeting a lot lately, but not Storifying much. Anyhow, here's a thread from today:

Very interesting! I want to get around to reading the Phaedrus properly one day…

Speaking of which (or, not really!), in Ireland I met a guy called Daniel Watson, who said he met you once when you came to present somewhere he was studying previously. He's now doing a Ph.D. at Maynooth, focusing on neoplatonism but bringing it into the medieval Irish context in various intriguing fashions. I asked, out of curiosity, if he had heard of you when he said he was a philosophy student when we first spoke on Saturday. When we parted from one another on Sunday night, he asked me how I knew you, and I told him that would be a story for a different time! ;)

That's cool! The name is familiar, but I can't recall. We must have met at Dalhousie. Nice to know I can travel overseas without even leaving the house! Feel free to share anything you want with him, as I was very open with everybody there, and pretty much always have been, everywhere. You certainly won't be "outing" me as a pagan.
