The reason for a number of things...

[fpb]

A blog can be, of course, anything you want it to be. However, there have been some items on mine that seem to have left some of my friends confused as to what, exactly, I was trying to do or say, and why. The James Bond item, in particular. My point in writing that is that I am interested in culture history and working on a history of modern culture and popular culture. The reflection on James Bond represents my getting straight, at least to my own satisfaction, a phenomenon in modern culture, in the anthropological sense of the word. One day it might become a part of a larger work, a history of popular culture.
