visa issues

As my faithful readers know, I'm in the middle of trying to get a new job in country that is not my home country. It's likely to be a 2.5 month project before I get my Visa approved by the Queen. It's a bit of a hiccup, but I am reminding myself that in the scheme of things it is not a big deal. I have so much to be thankful for. I don't need to dwell on this.

Jed is giving a 40 min. paper at Oxford this Friday. I'm really excited for him b/c it's good practice to give papers and he will get to meet the leading ancient philosophers in England. We went shopping this weekend to get Jed a new shirt and tie to wear. I was successful at convincing him to buy a pink tie. Doesn't he look handsome? It was a great deal--shirt and tie for only 35 sterling.




I only worked 2 days last week so this week will be pretty busy. I need to be really productive at work.
