A Few Changes

It has now been over a year since I arrived in Istanbul and began publishing this blog, so I decided to make a few changes. The layout is a little more reader-friendly (I hope), and now you don't need to subscribe to anything in order to comment on one of my posts (yes, it really took me a year to figure out how to do that).

Nothing much new here, as I am busy getting ready to go to Philadelphia in a couple of weeks for the NCTE (National Council of Teachers of English) convention followed by Thanksgiving with some old family friends, the Newmans, in Maryland. Here are a couple of random pictures to tide you over...Ciragan Caddesi, Galata Tower, and a mural in the Sishane Metro station.
