SFRA 2024 was a great conference and we had a wonderful time in Tartu and Tallinn – I’m really grateful for the invitation and everyone’s kindness.

Unfortunately we had a rather rough time traveling back – we got stranded in Dallas due to the weather. So it took me a while to recover and I’m still not back to my usual. Please be patient if you are waiting on a respo

Szóval a törvény jutott eszembe…”
