Dear Friends

What's going on here:

• attempting to finish four books (1 down, 3 to go)
• vacation
• moving household to Washington, DC (for a one year visiting appointment at Catholic U. of America)
• teaching in Europe
  

You may have figured something from the silence.

Anyway, despite my best intentions, and near-best efforts, I resign myself, reluctantly, to not blogging on a regular basis until August. Until then...
