We are back and I am 40.

We returned from our trip to England on Monday. My schedule is still a bit wonky.

My paper at the conference went well, and we had a great time. We traipsed all over London, and we took day trips to Canterbury, Stonehenge, Salisbury, Bath, and Oxford. (The picture above is me at Oxford.) I took about 700 pictures. It was good to return to my old haunts.

On another note, I turn 40 today. I suppose I am supposed to be freaked out about it, but I'm not.

Not that anyone would notice, but

we will be at a literary conference in London for the next week and a half.
