Hello to friends, family, and colleagues!

As many of you know, I’m on sabbatical for the 2008-2009 academic year.  I’m spending the time visiting colleagues and meeting new people in Madrid and London.  Consequently, Susan and I are spending nearly a year on the road.

We’re starting a blog to help stay in touch with all of you and to document some of what we see and do in our time abroad.  We’ll probably throw in some other random thoughts as well, and maybe some historical travel information (like our recent Grand Canyon trip).

Hope that you’ll all find it interesting enough to track and follow along.

See ya!

P.S.  The blog starts here, but we’re going to be adding some backdated posts for stuff that transpired before we got the blog running.
