Izabela left today on her regular fall trip to Poland (a little earlier than usual this year) to visit her mother. She'll be there for a month. I'd like to say that I've gotten used to her being away for a month twice a year. But it would be more accurate to say, paraphrasing Thomas Mann, that I've gotten used to not getting used to it.
This blog provides a relatively private space for my ideas and opinions, so I don't feel the need to impose them on my FB friends. My interests include music, literature, scholarly research (mostly involving law & social sciences), academia, sports, politics and bad puns. I never intend to give offence to anyone (except racists and anti-Semites). Comments are moderated to exclude spam and ensure civility.
