UD is...
"Salty." (Scott McLemee)
"Unvarnished." (Phi Beta Cons)
"Splendidly splenetic." (Culture Industry)
"Except for University Diaries, most academic blogs are tedious."
(Rate Your Students)
"I think of Soltan as the Maureen Dowd of the blogosphere,
except that Maureen Dowd is kind of a wrecking ball of a writer,
and Soltan isn't. For the life of me, I can't figure out her
politics, but she's pretty fabulous, so who gives a damn?"

Absolutely clear bright skies...

...over P'town, and we walked the windy beaches at Race Point and just tried to take in the spectacular setting. The most exciting part of the day was sitting in the back seat of the car while La Spawn got a (stick shift) driving lesson from Mr. UD in one of the enormous empty parking lots along the beaches.

Also discovered possibly the world's most beautiful shop -- WA -- and bought Asian stuff there. Told the owners that if they had a tea room we would never leave, and they said they're planning to open a garden patio when it gets warmer. "Bring your own tea and stay forever."
