On to the next adventure...

I just realized that I've fallen behind on updating my faithful readers. Since I last wrote, in fact about a week after I last wrote, I was offered a 9 month teaching fellowship at a University in Ontario.

Who would have thought that me, a Roman historian, would be teaching literature and language. Oh well. I guess life is full of surprises. I'm actually really excited about it and look forward to teaching again. The job starts August 1st so as of next week, I will be heading back across the pond.

It's been quite nice, with jaunts down to London, Exeter, and Cambridge. The travelling has been interdispersed with work as I madly try to finish up this article I'm working on and two book reviews.
