For the next couple of weeks ...

... I may have to exercise my imagination to come up with something other than Maeráed's trip to Vietnam to post about. Not that Carmen and I are doting virtual grandparents or whatever we are to Maeráed. But their trip is interesting, especially to my family with its ties to the old country. And the new brother is exceptionally cute. Exceptionally.

And that's my unbiased opinion as a scholar. With a PhD. And all that.
