may not find this terribly rewarding unless you're included here, so this is a
good time for casual and random browsers to turn back before they get too caught
up in the sweep and majesty of the proceedings and can't let go. Click

future, always iffy
Unless
something really awful should happen (like Cheney suddenly deciding that Switzerland might make an easier target than Iran), we
should have more poignant moments to post here soon, with Mercedes finishing up
her PhD in linguistics at Fribourg in early June, Marlowe coming for a visit in
late June and early July, Kristin coming over for most of July and some long weekends
at rustic retreats in the Alps already booked, and very likely some extended vacation
time with Kristin in September.
