I should have thought of that -- thanks!<BR/><BR/>SRJ: I always like to visit the places I've written about (or am writing about). There's something about walking on the land that I've so far only envisioned from reading medieval texts that gives me pleasure -- especially when a place is not at all as I imagined. And I do think that touching the past with your shoes and hands helps to keep the scholar embodied (instead of the Abstract Thinker we can all become).Jeffrey Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17346504393740520542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21165575.post-74967178556367467742007-07-18T13:28:00.000-04:002007-07-18T13:28:00.000-04:00Interesting that so many American medievalists mak...Interesting that so many American medievalists make the pilgrimage to Battle.

I got some wonderful ones of the niece and nephew at Regent's Park and Battle -- but shall not be posting, as the family don't really want their kids' pix all over the intrawebs.<BR/><BR/>I think Wegman's and World Market both carry Sarcen's malt vinegar (as well as PG Tips and sometimes even Branston pickle).

In my brief meeting with them, I was struck by how playful and loving the kids were with each other. My niece and nephew are the same number of years apart and they fought like crazy until they were adults. So yeah, that picture and the kids in it are awesome.Dr. Viragohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03960384082670286328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21165575.post-56613040824199219212007-07-16T10:10:00.000-04:002007-07-16T10:10:00.000-04:00The last picture is worth a frame--I hope you buy ...The last picture is worth a frame--I hope you buy one soon and place that, plus photo, in your office.
