Made it home from sbl

Made it home from SBL and San Francisco yesterday. Had some teaching today - supervisions which may have been a bit ragged around the edges (no lectures though fortunately). One of the (many) highlights of the trip was a visit (by bike) to the Muir Woods, an old-growth forest of Coastal Redwoods. I also heard (and gave) some presentations, ate some food, got some exercise, talked with some friends, bought some books and had a couple of misadventures. And thanks to a crowded flight and an unexpected upgrade I had quite a comfortable flight back to Heathrow.

What a small world! You tapped me on the shoulder before Chuck Hill read his paper on the four gospel canon. I couldn't figure out why I recognized your name. Turns out I've seen it here. I've been reading ETC for years, but now I can put a face to one of the contributors.

Good to meet you Clay. You are obviously a scholar of distinction if you read our blog.

Of course there may be a reason you did not recognise me. This picture:

Very inspiriting message, Peter... especially the more than 1,000,000 visits/hits. Cheers to another 1,000,000!

Have taken some photos of the presentors and some participants (except the time when I also presented my paper) in the NT TC program unit of the recent SBL annual meeting in SF. But I am not sure where to post it. At any rate, just let me know if you are interested. Thanks.

Dear Edgar,

thanks for the reminder. I hope you remember that I told you I will create a folder to which you can upload the photos. Then we will publish the link on this blog!

Thanks!

Got your invitation now, Tommy. Will try to upload pics now.

Good, I can see it is working!
