Way Too Much Has Happened

Um... I hardly know where to start. I gave my presentation, and afterwards, during a reception at which I drank too much cheap white wine, an imposing Early-Modern Ecclesiatical historian called it "admirably sophosticated." The most significant thing, though, was that I basically sat down Sunday morning and wrote 13 pages. I started cutting and pasting from old stuff, but by the end I had essentially created everything from scratch. 13 pages! In one day! There may be hope for me yet.

Tuesday I waited hours in Heathrow for A— to get off the planefrom NYC. Dinner with a friend of A—. A— and were drenched head to toe by a passing car going through a puddle, in a manner both of us believed happened only in cartoons.

Wednesday: galleries, architecture, Vietnamese food, drinks. Very very tired.

Today: I may blow off the second day of research presentation. There's much more to tell. Details to follow.
