Will do---- DS is looking forward to this! He has gone through stages of being thrilled, then worried, and now he is excited about it. We are going a few days early to get situated, then I am going to Oxford for a course on Jane Austen for a week (!) before I leave. He’ll fly home by himself. We finally worked all this out as a sort of vacay for me and a way to stay in the country for at least a week or so, albeit an hour away.

If anyone is planning to go to Europe this summer, don’t go see the movie Taken right before you leave! It was one of the most shocking films I have seen in a long time. Liam Neeson is fabulous in it, of course, but the subject matter–older teens abducted and sold—just hits a mom in the solar plexus.

The book for the course just came today and DS is deciding what monologues he wants to prepare for it… I’ll bet five bucks he comes back with a British accent!
