Almost Back

If I had to choose a name for an alternating series of good and bad unexpected events, I might go with “Summer 2011.”

There were combined lecture/pleasure trips to London, Amsterdam, and East Hampton on one hand. And on the other hand was an earthquake (which I didn’t feel), a hurricane (which left me without power for four days and without phone or Internet for a week), flooding, and more.

All of this left little time for writing, and now my traveling has already begun.

But barring any new surprises, I hope I’ll be able to return to this blog very soon.

In the meantime, one of my lectures over the summer was taped, and the edited version has just been released, as I describe next.
