    indexed topics

    Those of you who have known me for a while know that I rarely go anywhere without a pack of spiral-bound index cards. Once one of these packs fills up with notes, I tear out the cards and file them according to a rather elaborate system of categorization (the cross-referenced index to the cardfile is a 67-page Word document).

    Since I've been working on this system for the better part of the last decade, most new cards can be easily filed under one or more of the hundreds of existing categories. But every once in a while I take a note that doesn't fit comfortably into the system, and then I need to "open up" a new category. At the outset of 2003 I started keeping track of new categories as I added them, so here's 28 topics that I became formally interested in over the last year and a half:

    Oral Tradition (3/03)
    Suffering (3/03)
    American Indians (4/03)
