Hello friends, It sure has been an interesting couple of months. Woo haw! I leave on Sunday for London, Berlin, and Stirling, Scotland. Thankfully my freshly fractured hand and wrist (really, don't ask) feels a great deal better, so I don't think it will prevent me from having a good time. Hopefully I'll make it there and back safely, so that I can confront application hell in the fall. Maybe Sept. 11th isn't the ideal day to be flying back on. But really, what are the odds. Hope you all had a great summer, Erin ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
