Hi Felipe! Nice guesses. Actually you were near the point - I was abducted (by the EWG -Extreme Workload Group). Then I took a weekend break due to my Dad's 70th birthday, and, although I wasn't captured by Beatles fanatics, I have been captivated by the Beatles anthology, which I've borrowed from my brother.

Anyway, I stopped writing to let somebody else have a go. I also have lots of students who have been writing weblogs. If you want to see what one group have been doing, you can see it here.

BTW (do you know what that stands for?) I visited Naples some time ago and was completely thrilled by it. I loved the city, and Pompei and Vesuvius are only a stone's throw away!
