(Wow. Do I really know more linguists than Classicists? Many of these were teachers, classmates, and colleagues, some friends of friends, a few I know from on-line, and one I went to high school with. Or is it just that the Classicists I know aren’t presenting this year?) I’m looking forward to the intellectual stimulation and socializing! The weekend will call for more than the usual endurance. Not to mention the ability to be in two or more places at once.
