Below is an edited transcript of a chat I had this afternoon. I have an IM account (drcbrady) for chatting with students so it is not rare that I get messages popping up from folks I do not recognize. There are moments when how I decide to reply is very […]
The family just jetted of back to the US and I have a 12 hour (now down to 10) wait ahead of me. Plusses: Gatwick has more comfortable seats than most and their benches have no arms so children can lied down to catch some sleep. Sadly I do not […]
