the sabbatical logs

​Organized with my family in Italy in regards to my stay—will be leaving for Italy on August 3rd.  Also continued correspondence with Prof. Portelli in Rome in regards to a possible day for our interview—narrowed down the dates to sometime in October.
Had to prepare and organize logistics in the States before leaving for Europe—set up all my online bills, held my mail in 30 day cycles, paid assessments, secured an internet connection for Europe, secured phone communication while away, etc, etc, etc…
