Hehe. Now you are starting to sound like an American.

He also seems to be doing some completely original work, judging from
the article you cited. I'm looking forward to his forthcoming book.

The same as always, pretty much. My son is a 1st year student in high

however, his interest does not extend to the modern period. He seems to
prefer ancient China and ancient Greece.
