I just realized that I neglected to post something important,
at least to me. Of course, part of the
reason for that is that that something and preparations for it have occupied
most of my attention for the past several weeks so that I haven’t really given
this blog much thought. In any case,
from 20-29 October my wife and I participated in a pilgrimage to Italy
sponsored by our church, the Minor Basilica of the Immaculate Conception. If you’re interested in following along, seeing
what we did, albeit a little behind the times, an account can be found at my “Yeah,
It’s Another” blog (more formally called The
Absent-Minded Professor’s Travels) listed at right, or accessible via the
link below my banner above, or directly here [LINK].
“Albeit a little behind the times” … well, so is my posting
the account. My intention was to “live-blog”
the trip for the benefit of my students back home – this is, after all, the
middle of a semester – but as you’ll see that did not work out. So I’m furiously “back-filling” the travelogue,
trying to get it completed this weekend.
My goal yesterday morning was to finish it off yesterday so that at
least all the postings would be dated in October, but that didn’t work out
either. I’m still feeling the effects of
jet-lag, and by early evening last night I conked out. I’m hoping to finish it off today, though.
In any case, we had a wonderful time, and as a historian you
can bet I incorporate some historical commentary into my narrative. I invite you to join us – without suffering the inconvenience of
jet-lag!
Ciao!
