How Sad a Passage

COUNTESS "This young gentlewoman had a father,--O, that 'had'! how sad a passage 'tis!--whose skill was almost as great as his honesty; had it stretched so far, would have made nature immortal, and death should have play for lack of work." -Act I scene i, All's Well that Ends Well.

"She should tweak her fable in future tellings"

I haven't disappeared, quite. Just subsumed with work, actual attendance at the gym (!), reveling in Giant Super Bowl glory, and the rise of our man Barack. On that note, nice rhetorical flourishes today from George Will.

Less than a month until Malta and further pursuit of the Falcon. And dreams this weekend of an August jaunt from La Paz to Lima moving marvelously toward fruition. Ah, the wonder of the magic striking of lightning. It will be nice to soon be back along the Thames.

Shall get back on the Shakespearean track tomorrow. Since Burns night, the Fridays have been somewhat less than epic. Hoping to make the first tour through the Officer's Mess tomorrow at RA Park though, so we'll see where that rabbithole leads...
