Off to Italy!
... see you in November!
Mr. Improbable and I are taking a MUCH-NEEDED work/pleasure trip to Italy. The "work" part is the Genoa Science Festival (you can read about our first experience here).
I will resume blogging as usual here on Monday, November 2, asking more questions and responding to your thoughts on dog etiquette, respect for the elderly, and thoughtful gifts. (Or thoughtful dogs, respect for etiquette, and gifts for the elderly. It's all good.)
Because of the way Globe blogs are set up, all comments must be approved by me. So if you comment between now and the 30th, don't expect it to show up--I'm not sure if I'll have internet access on this trip, and am frankly rather hoping I don't.
I've got a couple of posts scheduled to go up on my personal blog, so you can check out the action there if you haven't already.
Ciao!
UPDATE: Yeah, folks, I didn't totally abandon the blog. Sorry about that. What I did was to set up this nice "On Vacation!" post, and then set it to the date I was to RETURN home, not to the date I LEFT. I've had on-and-off internet access since I've been gone, and this is the first I've realized it, thanks to a comment someone left in the chat thread. How much did Robin need a vacation? Let's count this as Exhibit A.
