Where am I?

I'm working on my long- contemplated dog and Central Asia book, and trying not to be tempted by the seductions of the Net. I wouldn't have much original to say anyway, only links, because I am trying to "save" thoughts for the book.

I'll probably be back sooner than later but I need to honor the priorities here... books, articles, and blog, in rather descending importance. Oh and, being me, email, which I do answer, too faithfully perhaps; but then, I have always written letters.
