Fair Warning

I will not be attending the Annual Meeting of the Society of Biblical Literature this year. Anyone who has delayed a decision until this announcement should now feel safe to attend next month's mega affair in New Orleans.

However, I will be making a presentation at the Pacific Coast regional meeting in March. Make your plans accordingly.

My title will be "Blood and Dust: Listening for Sommer's 'Echo' in Akkadian and Hebrew Texts?" Only Shamash knows what I will actually say. My presentation, like all the presentations at the Neo-Assyrian Insights session next year, will be short, ≤ 10 minutes. Brad Kelle, the session chair, hopes that each presentation will engender discussion on future research directions.

Consider yourselves forewarned.

It's okay, Duane. I'll be missing as well. Something about having just bought a house and teaching full time....

Next year in Jerusalem. er... Atlanta.

I will miss both of you, but then, Atlanta is coming up.
