CATCHING UP

What was that resolution I made to add a note to this blog once a week? It's just over a month since my last posting, and in that time I've had lots of reason to think about Tasmania. I met Richard Lemm for coffee when he was in town, and we traded stories about our Tassie experiences and adventures, scheming how to go back there. Kevin and Irene, my Hobart friends and hosts, were in Toronto for 10 days, and I spent the better part of 3 days with Irene, wandering and talking. And I've had letters and emails from several folks--mostly still waiting for answers, I'm afraid. But I've also been preoccupied with the next adventure. Peter and I leave next Monday morning for Seoul, where he will be teaching a summer course at Sookmyung Women's University. We'll be there for a month, and then spend 10 days in Japan on the return trip. I'm going to start a separate blog to capture some of our experiences--if you're curious it's called http://fieldnoteskoreajapan.blogspot.com. I'm also taking my Tasmania notebook with me.
