I thought I wasn't going to get any work on this thing done today, but I managed the, well, I'll just go tidy up my notes trick and actually have the first item on the list about 75% finished. That is, the huge (30 page) section of text has been written and spliced together and pasted back into the introduction file; the problem remaining is to figure out what order the four currently discrete chunks of the introduction go in and how to graft them together so the seams don't show too badly.

But that is a task for later. Happily, my evening has other plans.

UPDATE, 6:54 p.m.: Ha! Introduction is organized and perhaps even vaguely coherent! Items #1 & #2 can be CROSSED OFF! Yee-ha!
