this is going to be my first, only, and thus, last post in january 2011. don't be sad. life goes on and on. and on. anywho, early january saw me in bed, mostly, struck down by the BIG nasty flu, or, other times, by the BIG non-SLEEP, friend insomnia, who dropped by quite frequently to take me in its arms.
 so what are the news:
first - the  homepage for the dylan conference is up, a minor beauty, and pride of her daddy: have a look! - www.dylanvienna.at.
second - i will be coming back to europe soon for a good two weeks. visiting and lecturing (wohoow!) in saarbrücken and trier, and afterwards some meetings and also vacations in vienna before the summer term at hebrew university commences in mid-february.
third - just a little history repeating.
fourth  - check this out, you academics you. i love it, you will, too: http://www.math.pacificu.edu/~emmons/JofUR/
take good care,

good friend, frequent visitor: the red lady.
