(written as a stream of thought to reassure myself that temporary insanity \u2013 in times of insanity \u2013 is perfectly sane\u2026 or an itinerary for busy times\u2026)<\/p>\n

Tonight <\/span>\u2013 cards and games at Jen\u2019s, with Julie (and hopefully Patia<\/span><\/span> too) and others. Last time we played I came away $25 richer. I\u2019m hoping for a repeat.<\/li>\n
N.B. Kant apparently supplemented his meagre <\/span>Privatdozent<\/span> <\/span>income with cards and billiards bets. If it\u2019s good enough for Kant, it\u2019s good enough for me. <\/span><\/li>\n
N.B. The Buddha forbade his monks and nuns from gambling and called it one of the \u201csix channels for dissipating wealth<\/a>\u201d for laypeople. <\/li>\n
N.B. I think I see a future seminar paper coming from this \u201cTo Gamble or Not? A Buddhist-Kantian Dilemma.\u201d Tonight: I gamble.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
- More writing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
  - Sunday \u2013 write.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    - Monday \u2013 work (Center for Ethics), drive to Helena for brother\u2019s Birthday dinner.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      - Tuesday \u2013 fly (read\/write)! (plus 5 hours in the Minneapolis Airport which I\u2019m told is fantastic<\/span>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
        Wednesday \u2013 land! (London, 7:30am), head to Devika\u2019s<\/span>.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
        Friday (1\/16) \u2013 meet with advisor, present ph<\/span>.d. dossier and\/or story about how my dog ate<\/span> my thesis (again). <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
        Tuesday (1\/20) \u2013 bus to Cheltenham<\/span> for Obama Inauguration Party (thanks be to Dave)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
        Wednesday (1\/21) \u2013 Give a talk: \u201cAre Buddhist Ethics Kantian<\/a>\u201d for the start of a series of research seminars in Religion, Philosophy & Ethics at the University of Gloucestershire<\/span>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
        Friday (1\/23) \u2013 off to Bristol to hang out with SJ, see other old Bristol friends\/housemates\/coursemates<\/span>\/teachers\u2026<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
        Sunday (1\/25) \u2013 back to London to Sjors<\/span>\u2018 place.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
        Tuesday (1\/27) \u2013 back on plane for the USA.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        And, while I\u2019m usually terrible at planning anything of any sort, I think I\u2019m in pretty good shape on this one. (now I just need to create that talk \u2013 and something for my advisor). And apologies in advance to those around the UK if I don\u2019t get in touch \u2013 I\u2019ll try! I\u2019m exhausted just thinking about it. Ok, back to work (work-work).<\/p>\n

I have a BA and almost an MA in (Western) Philosophy from the University of Montana-Missoula, an MA in Buddhist Studies from Bristol University, UK, and I am currently working on a Ph.D. in Buddhist Ethics at the U of London. My main academic foci are early Buddhist ethics and Kant (odd combination, I know). I also study Western ethics, Tibetan Buddhism, Theravada, Comparative philosophy, and Environmental ethics. I also like photography, running, drinking wine, and eating peanut butter (often in that order).","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/americanbuddhist\/"],"url":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/americanbuddhist\/author\/justinwhitaker"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/americanbuddhist\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/424","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/americanbuddhist\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/americanbuddhist\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/americanbuddhist\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/118"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/americanbuddhist\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=424"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/americanbuddhist\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/424\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/americanbuddhist\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=424"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/americanbuddhist\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=424"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/americanbuddhist\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=424"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
