It was in the wee hours of the morning that we went to bed following the smashing victory of the Heels over Oklahoma.

Julie Irving and Buie at St. Antony's College
In the afternoon we had lunch with Boo's St. Antony's colleagues. Julie Irving is Director of the Senior Associate Members Program. She is amazing and has helped Boo acclimate to life in Oxford -- find a doctor to remove his stitches, find his luggagge lost by Air India, survive his rental car-bus incident and his bicycle-car incident. For more details, you must comment! Otherwise we are happy to report he is still with us.
And we continued to soak up the town's ambience and are loving that spring is arriving -- daffodils and all.
"Daffodils" - by William Wordsworth
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line ,
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced, but they
Out-did the sparkling leaves in glee;
A poet could not be but gay,
In such a jocund company!
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
