medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Carissimo! I saw this and thought it might take the edge off; when was this fucking opening?? And where is it? So are you not now taking leave? I'm not quite clear... I had a brief note back from Harper, who I think is going to pick some holes in Ch. 1; I hope he'll have suggestions for things to plug them with! I can be sure of a frank response from him, though, I'm sure. Give me details of what you want from those films; it will be late next week before I get a chance to see them; we're interviewing for a theory position, I have umpteen concerts/ rehearsals over the next few days, etc. etc. We went to hear BB King last night, and ate at a seafood rest. in the Portuguese/ Spanish neighbourhood in Newark. Stay sane!! Theirs is the malignancy, the power without the glory!
