I will be gone starting tomorrow for a few days with my family. I wish I could leave you with some recap of worldwise, but I’ll be working on that while I’m away. If anyone has anything interesting to post over Thanksgiving email it to me at nprizel@umd.edu. I’ll put it up.

I went down to the National Gallery this morning to see the Hopper exhibit. We also wandered through Turner and the Baroque Woodcut exhibit which I highly recommend.
