It's now Wednesday evening, June 24th. We leave on Sunday evening, June 28th. Between now and then, I have to pack, prepare the teaching materrials I will be presenting on the trip, etc., etc., etc. My main concern right now is that the dental issue that I've been contending with doesn't "blow up" (in the words of my endodontist) either before or after my trip!!!

A Postscript:  It certainly did blow up!!!
