Back from Austria

Whew! I’m finally back from Austria, after a rather hellish trip home that included a way-too-lengthy stay in the Amsterdam airport while they sorted out the aftermath of European winter storms. I have tons to write about, but no time to do so right now. I just wanted to let friends know I was still around, and offer a great “thanks!” to all of the little elves who have been leaving Advent gifts in my faculty mailbox. They are unsigned, and so unattributed, but greatly enjoyed and appreciated! I hope someone reads this who can pass on the thanks to whichever little elves were involved.
