And your eyes have a special shine, as if there were pieces of glass lodged in them---
I thought that was cute! but then again, I'm me...

Hahahahahah! Welcome back, Thar - I'm glad you're not still brooding over my bashing of your commenting abilities. I'm actually surprised, though, that you didn't take advantage of the last posts question opportunities...methinks if I don't get anything better than the inquisition about my middle name, it shall be the last time I do that meme; the results have been awfully anticlimactic.

yes, shards of glass is still romantic to me. No, while i still believe that you were a bit harsh in your judgements, lady chiltern (get the reference?), i just did not know what to ask you. i found something nice t send you. There was a woman walking around, leaving these pretty pieces of cloth in strange places. i picked up a few of them, not knowing at the time that it was part of soem art exhibit. they have poetry on them. I was waiting to find something worthwhile to send to you. now i've forgotten your address.

i'm going to resurrect the old me and you post. i'll be writing in it soon.

Mabel Chiltern? No, I don't really get the reference, at all. But letters are exciting.

I know, it's fantastic - it appeared in The New York Times Travel Section a couple of weeks ago, in an article entitled Baja for Beginners under the special Spring 2006 subsection; it was part of a slideshow which you can access here. The photographs are all by Emma Hardy, and the adorable children belong to her friends. Goroggily rubbing his eyes while saying this (because I'm kind of out of it, post-nap): I have to get you in touch with people to pick up study notes, right? Let me know; I should take care of that before leaving tomorrow.

She is gorgeous, the flowers are amazing, and the murals are fantastic and make me think of... some amazing abstractionist. Could even be that.

Oy, aye. The New York Times had some smashing shots from Turkey and Libya and whatnot.

I know! I would have been flattered if her attentions hadn't been so damned persistent; it was the first time that I was actually greatful for the Prussian tendency of avoiding physical displays of affection / attraction. And hurrah Bosch, hurrah Madrid (the Austrias and La Latina Sections are crawling with such beautiful things.)
