Au revoir, Arrivederci, Zbohem, Auf weidersehen, Khairete

This post is scheduled to appear the moment our plane takes off for a very extended vacation to Europe. We'll be gone for seven weeks, but we won't be abandoning Cognitive Daily. We've scheduled two extended research posts to appear each week, each written by one of Greta's top student writers and carefully edited for accuracy and readability by both me and Greta.

Aaron Couch, the Cognitive Daily intern, will be here to help manage the comment discussion threads, post news items, and make sure there aren't any technical glitches.

I'll also be hauling my computer along for the journey, so Greta and I will pop in here with occasional psychology-related travel posts. For example, we're definitely visiting the Freud museum in Vienna, and we'll certainly include photos of that experience!

If you'd like to follow our travels even more closely, head over to Word Munger, where I'll try to post update at least every few days. You can find our itinerary on this post.

We'll be back in the U.S. and posting more or less on the normal schedule on July 23. See you then!

Last week we wondered whether sports fans and arts buffs were nonintersecting groups. I knew there were some exceptions to the idea that an arts snob wouldn't set foot inside an athletic complex. For example, a friend of mine is an art history professor, but also such a big football fan that in his…
Hello Cognitive Daily readers! As you may have already read, I have been hired by Dave and Greta as the Cognitive Daily summer intern while they're away on vacation for the next couple of months, so I thought I'd give a brief introduction. My name is Aaron Couch and I am a junior student at…
The whole Munger family will be heading out of town for the next three weeks. Fortunately, there should be plenty to keep you occupied here while we're gone. We've written up a few posts in anticipation of the trip, and they've been scheduled to appear intermittently while we're gone. In addition,…

I'm sorry to say Freud Museum is a bit of a deception, but it's nice and you can stop at the AA to have some nice and unexpensive lunch (I think they're both on Bergasse), apart from the great coffee and wonderful sights Wien offers.

I got told they moved most of the stuff to London, so there isn't too much to see (I actually bought my Freud action figure over there if you don't already have it).

Anyway, hope you enjoy your trip and hope to see you down in Madrid!!
