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?"

Ah. That's More Like It.

This is the Cambridge I know - overcast, wet.

We're meeting our old friend (from grad school at the University of Chicago) David Mayers today, who, along with his son Peter, will show les UD's and their daughter around the Boston University campus (David teaches there; Peter goes to school there).

We're still dithering over where to stay in Provincetown. We leave tomorrow.
