Hi All--Having a wonderful trip to England and just settled into Oxford where I have spent a heavenly afternoon among the ancient books of Duke Humfrey's Library at the Bodleian.

I am having so many mixed emotions right now. I received some news earlier that has left me somewhat numb. It's nothing terrible but nonetheless I am disappointed.
