"I am away until December 31st, 1969."

[d_aulnoy]

I'm back from ICFA!  Back to an overflowing inbox, a thick stack of papers to be graded by ... tomorrow (no, seriously: the stack is so thick that they barely fit in my schlep bag: we are talking over 100 of the damned things), and a moment of chagrin, as my carefully set away message apparently defaulted to Dec. 31st, 1969.  This is vaguely appropriate, given that next year's theme is time, but ....

Expect a longer conference report soon, but in the meantime, know that I am back, and in no danger of suffering temporal dislocation.
