Busy, busy

The upcoming trip to China will be only three and a half weeks long, making it one of my shortest. However, it’s no less complex. I have checklists of people to contact, including thank yous to everyone who recommended me for promotion to full professor, another of things to buy—like a travel iron and a new camera, memos about bringing double A batteries and adaptor plugs, and a compendium of tasks such as applying for an international faculty ID card-- something I should have done weeks ago. Dennis Cope (pictured below) was just to our house vetting my laptop for its excursion to China. He’ll be managing my blog while I am overseas. I’m able to send him pictures and postings via my gmail. The Chinese government blocks access to blogs.
