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?"

UD and the Holidays

What with all the airport closures and bad weather, Mr UD's been having quite the time trying to get back from Norway.

One nice thing about his having been stuck in Copenhagen, where he waited for a connecting flight that never happened -- he got a chance to spend a day with Andrzej, his nephew who works in that city's Polish embassy.

Mr UD's now in Newark, hoping to get to DC by this evening. Tomorrow, the car gets tuned up, the dog gets dropped off, the kid gets surgically removed from her madcap 'thesdan whirl, and the drive up to Cambridge begins. We'll be there, and then in Provincetown, for a few days, before returning to DC just before New Year's Eve.

Where'er I go... whate'er I do... I shall blog.
