Livre d'Or

OK, you had an alternative escape route, but likely the PhD in London was the best one available to you. And you're quite right about the supervisor dying thing; the problem isn't that people are mortal, the problem is that the system is so ludicrously dependent on one individual that things fall apart when the unfortunate happens.

On an unrelated note, I have a book I want to give you :-) Are you around at all on Sunday?
