Welcome to Southern California! You should visit the new Chinese gardens at the Huntington – actually there are a lot of new sections in the gardens (a conservatory, a wonderful children’s space) and revamped art galleries, so if you haven’t been in a couple of years, try to find time to have a look around and enjoy.

Well, I woke up this morning and it turned out a mss. that has gone unfinished since the Unfortunate Events had finally grown a head, arms and legs and was getting to walk right out the door unless I buckled down and finished ‘er up. So that’s where I’m at, sister.

I’ll be leaving for a week in Berlin in about a month, followed by two weeks in London. Then it’s home to write: no circus shows between June and November. And I have the Fall off ~ yay!

Have fun out here in California! Don’t let yourself catch on fire or all shook up! (and _do_ get outside to the gardens —esp the lake and the desert plants section — I love that place!)

I live ten minutes from the ocean in sunny SoCal. Toot your horn and I’ll wave as you go by!

The Big Three: research, wRitin, trying not to go nuts. A tributory conference for a mentor, a trip out West of my own, and a couple of summer seminars. That/s about it.

Watch out for the mudslides, hilltop grass fires, 3.4 aftershocks, and don/t start any stampedes, Historiann. Then return to the highcountry summer pasture soon.

Ortho, I asked your question from last year about the pissing dogs of Revolutionary British print culture at a seminar last week. The presenter had displayed an image of one of the pups, but, probably sensibly, ze wasn/t about to get dragged into that one. I had to give it a shot, though.

Work, work, work, since I’m the only faculty member who has had the training to teach online and there are four online section. That means that I will probably also develop a drinking problem.

Have fun in California. Sounds like a fascinating conference!

Preparing a promotion file, plus two weeks in southern France, a week in Arizona, lots of writing, blah, blah, blah, a sailor’s life for me.

Great conference, Historiann!
