Some things that have been on my mind

I'm writing this post from my parents' place in downtown Toronto. On Wednesday night, after characteristically long hours of winter air travel from Boston, I arrived in one of three cities that I call home. It wasn't quite the start of my Christmas vacation yet. On Friday, I spent a big part of the day at the University of Waterloo, giving a talk co-sponsored by the library and LT3. (I hope to write more later about the day -- but I had a wonderful time!)

Alas, soon after I gave my talk, I started to experience the onset of postnasal drip. I've been drinking a lot of fluids and am about to turn in for a long night of sleep. With any luck, I'll fight off any impending cold.

So that's what's been happening.....When I started to compose this entry, I wanted to enumerate what's been on my mind. Alas, I'll have to forgo that plan for the sake of my health!
