I am a retired professor. I last taught at Ewha Womans University, mostly composition, research writing, and cultural issues, but also the occasional graduate seminar on Gnosticism and Johannine theology and the occasional undergraduate course on European history. My doctorate is in history (U.C. Berkeley), with emphasis on religion and science. My thesis is on John's gospel and Gnosticism. I'm also an award-winning writer, and I recommend my novella, The Bottomless Bottle of Beer, to anyone interested. I'm originally from the Arkansas Ozarks, but my academic career -- funded through doctoral and postdoctoral fellowships (e.g., Fulbright, Naumann, Lady Davis) -- has taken me through Texas, California, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, and Israel and has landed me in Seoul, South Korea. I've also traveled to Mexico, visited much of Europe, including Moscow, and touched down briefly in a few East Asian countries. Hence: "Gypsy Scholar."

Hi Jeff, CPH here; sorry to hear it, hope you're better 'stat' as they used to say on "ER". You've probably heard this one before, but I'll relay it anyhow; so I've got a fine old (well, uh, about 2 yrs older than me) long-running GP here in Boulder who I once told during a routine visit, "You know, I'm not really sure if I've ever had the flu, or not." He looked up from his notepad and squinted at me, and said, "Well Charley, if you're not sure if you've ever had the flu, then, you haven't ever had the flu." O--kay. So that's my bit of flu-calibration for the morning.
---wow btw, your robot-catcher really beat me up this morning--I'd about decided that, what the heck, I AM a robot!--
Thanks. I reckon robots don't suffer influenza. You need to read my poem "In Victimhood," which appears on page 24 of my Radiant Snow. You might laugh . . .
