Seemed like they have a murder a week in Oxford.

We actually did make it to Oxford. Our friend was in a masters program and we spent an afternoon in the U.

Toured the library, lunch in the hall. Students have "scouts" whose job is to fulfill requests of the students, maintain the room and so forth. Saw the punters on the river.

My favorite part of the visit, meeting Carry's tutor. Two months later, there was a feature about her in National Geographic. The photographer was at a session with her and one of her students. She posed a problem to the student and there is a look of "Holy shit, I never thought of that." on the student's face.

Two years later, she was in N.J., in residence. I believe it was Princeton.

And no. We didn't get murdered.
