.. sorry, would blog more but buried in worse than usual end of the semester deluge of grading, committee meetings, conferences (6 presentations on entirely different topics in a month!), designing yet another new course (the 5th new course in one year!), trying to catch up on backlog of manuscript reviews and overdue articles.... you know, the usual, only more so. Not likely to change this week ... so carry on. Not like anything's going on in the Middle East, right?
Since there's always something going on in the Middle East, I have decided to refuse to get upset about any of it. When bullets started flying in the window of my blog friend's apartment in Ras Beirut, I signed off the blogosphere for a few days. I feel so much better now... and Lebanon held together fine while I was gone.
