All right, so now I’m – very slowly – getting back into the swing. I feel more and more like sharing what’s been going on, but for the moment most of it is uninteresting, and the interesting parts are kind of bizarre. I’ll need more time, and a sense of distance from what I’ve been [...]
Well, no email, nothing happening on the web, everybody either asleep or gone off to work… Maybe it’s time for another blog post?
I’m writing this from the Perche, at 6:30 or so in the morning. Huh? you may ask. Don’t, it’s boring. Just insomnia, thinking about all of the o-so-icky administrative stuff I have to [...]
I’ve been here in Maine for several weeks and have spent most of my time being determinedly on vacation. From just about everything. I’ve been eating, drinking, playing, sleeping, watching TV, sleeping, eating, drinking, playing… and that’s about all. And yet as I sat down to write this, I realized that I could spend hours [...]

It’s strange, but since I’ve been back I haven’t felt much of a need to post to the blog. There are several reasons for this… one of them is that I’ve been too busy running around to actually do [...]
There is so much to say, so much to tell… I haven’t written for a while because it’s difficult to synthesize what’s been happening. So perhaps instead of trying to write something coherent and (perhaps) interesting, I’ll just content myself with a newsy note.
As I write this I’m in Paris, at the apartment of my [...]
The problem with feeling cold is that the body and mind enter into a kind of protective hibernation. No, by many people’s standards, it’s not THAT cold here, but by MY standards, it’s glacial. And the weather experts don’t sound optimistic that things will improve. Friends in Paris tell me I’m a wuss and should [...]
Returning to Paris with David
