Consider this a social experiment. A dismal failure of a social experiment. I stopped posting to this blog in June, and through July and August I received one (1) email from someone telling me they missed my blog.
The email was from my mother:
I did not feel very "missed".Three (3) things have pushed me back to Switzian. Firstly, my nephew was born, and he's adorable.
Second, I'm off to South Africa at the end of September and hopefully going to Canada in between, and since I've last blogged I've also been to Kenya, Tanzania, and Lyon (France) and I thought it might be good to post some pictures of that stuff. They will come in the next short while.... if I get three (3) comments from different people on this post, verifying that I am at least assured a mild readership.
Thirdly, I got a comment from Jules guessing on the MENA literacy test. I realized I have no idea if she's right or wrong anymore. Oh how things have changed from my heyday as a global literati.
