Jim was in the Schwartzwald last week (11--14/Nov) speaking at a festcolloquium
on the occassion of the retirement of Uwe M"onnich from the Seminar f"ur Sprachwissenschaft (Theoretical Computational Linguistics) at Eberhard Karls Universit"at, T"ubingen (http://tcl.sfs.uni-tuebingen.de/festcol/). His talk (one of 11) was on "Some Notions of Higher-Order Grammars". It snowed daily.
