Unbelievably, I DID return from the UK and there WILL be class in both Euro and Cold War on Monday, April ll(!). In Cold War, a special session since the following day, April l2, is the proudest day in the history of the Soviet Union, the day Iurii Gagarin made his historic manned space flight, beating the US to that milestone and getting the President's Irish up--it was shortly thereafter that he made his boast that the US would put a man on the moon before this decade(l960s)was out, etc., etc. So we will celebrate on Monday.
I had hoped to blog the London trip, but was chagrined to find out that the UK has yet to discover the charms of public wireless access. At WSUTC, we're so used to universal wireless access, it's hard to believe that other places might not have it. Cambridge University, for all its virtues, has exactly NO wireless access, public or otherwise...hard to believe, but it's true. I hadn't even brought my computer because I thought I could connect to my IPAD via wireless. Think again! Anyway, that's why the long radio silence...
The photo you see above is the back lawn of Trinity College, Cambridge, one of the many residential colleges there to enjoy its own centuries-old Gothic cathedral. If ever you get to London, you should visit, just to lay eyes on the greatest University town in all the world.
