Seventy Degrees! UD's older sister, visiting 'thesda from her home in upstate New York, swears that temperatures there are supposed to dip into the seventies in the next couple of days. (She and UD have been locked for a week in an almost unbearably intense Scrabble tournament. At the moment, they're tied.) UD's about to pack for her trip today to her house in the hills near Cooperstown (where, the New York Times insists, there's a terrific Grandma Moses exhibit at the otherwise pretty dull Fenimore Museum), and finds this piece of information thrilling. The idea of putting sweaters in her luggage! The idea of clear cool nights under the shooting stars! Blogging will be somewhat lighter for the next week as UD retreats to the ponds and the dairy farms. Meanwhile, though, a note and a reminder: *** I've been interviewed by a London Times reporter about academic blogging. Don't know when/if any of my remarks will appear in the paper, but I'll let you know. *** Remember that when you go back in the archives of University Diaries, the number of comments for each post does not always appear at the bottom of the post. Sometimes just the word "Comments" appears. Click on this word. There may be no comments, or there may be twenty. I haven't gotten around to fixing this problem. |
