I hope you’ll all understand that I am taking a few days to decompress, get my life back together, sort through mail, return to a semblence of a normal home life, wade through 2000 or so emails thsat I either left unopened or simply unaddressed, re-establish a writing schedule, teach my summer grad class, deal with university bureaucracy, prepare for fall semester, and give myself some critical distance from the World Cup so I can start dealing with the “what it all means” issues about which I’ll be writing.
Expect normal posting to resume in the next few days.
