Heh.

I thank you for your kindness. I hope there will be a chance of meeting one another. I guess you mean Marmarus in Turkey. I think I was there a long time ago. Lovely. As far as us, we are not planning to go to the New World this next summer but stay here and look after our business: no vacation this year alas. We might though possibly go to India or China next Christmas but nothing is planned. Ciao!

All I remember about Ralph Richardson is his role as Zivago’s father-in-law in David Lean’s excellent film. I was 17 and of course we all had a crush on Julie Christie’s blue eyes. Irrelevant too.

I am tempted to be a poof as well, in the sense of disappearing and then reappearing – but I try to fight it :-)

I had an exchange of mails with Zeus soon after he left the blogosphere. Then I didn’t hear from him any more.

look in your junk folder please.

the image you chose reminds me of Marmarus, although it is much more modern and developed since my youth.

if you ever come to chicago, i shall meet you.

better yet, jenny and hers and jacob and i visit roma. this is on my wish list.

on the last leg of the flight home last summer, i met a woman from my neighborhood in cleveland who owned a condo in israel only blocks away from my aunt and uncle, renovated and more spacious… like your rental.

a great place to rendezvous if anyone would like to meet in tel aviv.

Richardson was not told of this but noticed he was being directed in a way he found strange and inscrutable, and finally called out the director and stage manager on the matter. The director blustered and bloviated for a while in Freudian language as Richardson became even more confused, finally saying bluntly: “Iago is a poof, you see! He is a poof!”

Richardson said “I’m leaving until you gentlemen come to your senses.” And he took the train home and stayed there until they changed the concept.

Totally irrelevant, but I can never see the term “poof” without thinking of it.

I don’t know to this day why Zeus dropped off the blogosphere quite so abruptly and completely. I’ve known him for probably 15 years and he has this way of appearing and reappearing when least expected.
