London calling!

I've been meaning to write about this for a while, but haven't had the chance: I'm moving to London in the fall! Tom got a job in the philosophy department at University College London and I'm going to go do my dissertation work at the British Library and Museum, where they have all of the things I work on in manuscript form. Sources tell me that the Science reading room is the place to work at the BL, rather than the Humanities room (apparently scientists practice better hygiene), so I'll probably be splitting my time between there and other study spots. And of course Borough Market, where I'll have to start wearing disguises so the vendors don't refuse me samples after my umpteenth return.

I'm really happy about the move -- well, okay, maybe not about the move itself, but happy about the reasons for it, and glad that I kept the boxes from last year. I guess this means that I'll have cause to keep up The Queen's English. I'll be sending dispatches from Berlin and Chicago this summer, and then from England in the fall.



There are many reasons I'm going, of course, but first among them is Tom. He's wonderful. For those of you who haven't had the chance to meet him yet, I hope you do soon. Come visit!
