Hi Readers,

I thought I was only kidding a few posts ago when I said this was a slow blog, but somehow the rest of December got away from me!  Now that the holidays, grading, and an awesome trip to Ireland are now past,  I plan to have more regular posts, at least until the next semester starts again.

As to New Year’s itself, we proved to be our usual old-fart selves and had an early night since we had to be up before dawn to get our flight back to the U.S.A.   I’ll be posting more trip details and photos soon.
