We hope for him to join me during my graduation residency (summer 2015--sigh). But he's very much a home body (he got all of his wanderlust out when he was young). So sorry to hear about your goods being burgled. Those Germans and Russians can be sneaky. And I'd offer to share my castle with you, but apparently the Scottish Historical Society is a bit possessive.
