Hello, everyone. Just a brief note to say that I am well (though with all the ironies now attendant on that word) and to apologize for spooking some of you with my longish silence. No news is truly good news in my case – you can count on me (or Peter) to let you know here if things take a southward turn.
This caesura (thanks, Steve S!) has a happy justification: Pete and I have been crazy busy and on the move! We left Portland on November 29th and spent a few wonderful days with friends and family (the line between them blurs) in Milwaukee and Chicago before winging to Budapest, arriving on the third. The days and nights since have been full of spectacle and fun, almost empty of rest; this morning was the first that I felt back in one piece. I trust that words will return to me soon, but here are a few photos to tide you over in the meantime.
Eggy sheggy dray! (Toasting your health with a bad American accent...)
Forza!
Gretchen
