While AKMA is certainly a man for all seasons, as autumn approaches and Michaelmas follows closely on, he celebrates his birthday. This year I understand the birthday ends in a zero. I am pleased to have gotten to know him a little over the better part of the last decade, and I wish him all the best in the decades ahead!
In What is Postmodern Biblical Criticism? AKMA says, “Meaning is what we make of texts, not an ingredient in texts.” This, I think, explains my utter failure to succeed using the osmotic books-under-the-pillow study method as an undergraduate. Drat.

On the other hand, the osmotic approach seems to have prepared the Commander in Chief for his role as Supreme Liberator of the Oppressed and for his breath-taking domestic policy successes.
(Thanks for the birthday greeting! When you get to be 50, I’ll return the favor!)
LOL… kind of you, but I think we both know that when I get to be fifty it will mean that somebody has mastered the art of turning the human age-ometer backwards!
