Weekend Wanderings
I know, I know — I keep falling behind in recapping my travels and activities (which is why you should be on Facebook ;-). It’s the most stressful month of my academic career, so you’re going to have to cut me a little slack until Oct 1. Today I’m off to the Medieval Festival at…
Independence Day
Robert invited me down to see the place he was house-sitting for a VP at his college. Here he is poolside with Buzz, AKA Busby Berkeley, the dog who required the sitting. Buzz is a really friendly dog and very happy. He lives in a rather large house set among the trees some few miles…

Well, we’ll be off to Robert’s this afternoon (AKA land of dial-up connection, no no no!) so I likely won’t be posting tomorrow at all, so happy Christmas to all of you who celebrate it. Friday I’m off to San Francisco for MLA, so there will doubtless be lots to say, especially seeing Adrean for…
