My sabbatical: An update

I had hoped to do more professional writing during our sabbatical.  Instead, I have done far more personal writing, catching up with old friends, etc.  From time to time I have read things that warrant a blog post but the constant distractions (and logistics) of travel have not been conducive to writing.  I  also wanted our six months (more or less) to create the time and space to think about my profession and work within a larger context.  In the middle of Europe (living out of a rather small suitcase), my thoughts are turning to the more pressing question... what now?
