Scofflaw?

Though the rule is no cats on the dining room table, it's hard to get too upset with Seymour when he is such a handsome and placid fellow.

I'm back from Singapore, and have more or less readjusted to NYC time. In my absence, summer seems to have arrived in a schedule sense (students have graduated and the place has emptied out for the summer, though I have a LOT of things to do) though unfortunately not in a weather sense.

I'll be on sabbatical this fall, and teaching the Tax Policy Colloquium with Alan Auerbach next winter. During the balance of 2011, I have work-related trips scheduled to Oxford, Louisville, Los Angeles, Vienna, and Sao Paulo, plus no doubt a couple more that aren't currently coming to mind.
