European Tour 2009
We are off to Oxford, London, and Paris, where I’m giving a paper about this sensationalist fin-de-siècle novel, among other things. Hope to publish updates soon!

Botany Lesson
House/life/travel/baby updates are coming soon…but in the mean time, here is a post I had in the reserves to share with fellow old book/botany/science-loving types. Aren’t these botany-inspired designs cool? And they’re all online at the New York Public Library’s site here! What can we do with them?

Coney Island
Here’s a little SAT prep for today: Paris is to France as Coney Island is to _________________.
the world! of course.
We had lunch and spent the afternoon in Coney Island today, stopping by the New York Aquarium for the first time. It was a great day, although we still miss the batting cages that have been razed in preparation for some sort of yet-to-be-revealed development. Other institutions like Nathan’s hot dogs and the “Shoot the Freak” game were still thriving, so all was not lost!
What? no dog?
Only in Coney Island do aquarium inscriptions include the word “jackass.”
There’s a photo of this snack bar currently being sold at CB2 in SoHo.
Not sure if we’ll make it back for the Mermaid parade, but we’re glad we trekked out before moving from the city.

Slide
On Thursday we went up to Croton-on-Hudson to run some errands and check out our new neighborhood. There’s a wonderful park on the Hudson with a fun slide we had to try. The stop-motion feature on our camera came in handy to capture the fun of going down the slide (alone!)
Again!
