Hmmm.. looks like the trip to Taiwan has been bumped to the last week of October. My mother will also be joining us and we will be there on her 59th birthday which is on October 31, Halloween.

There will be some sort of international conference at Kaoshiung University which my dad will be lecturing at in English and I'm now being asked if I'd give a presentation too, perhaps on poetry? Eeeek. Equivalence will be out. Working thru the 2nd set of galleys now with JB. Hopefully out to printer by mid-August and in my anxious hands by last week of September. Dad's been trying to get me a job in Taiwan for years, I wonder if the opportunity is finally here?
