  1. Gittes,

    The "Banksy Simpson's Intro." is a marvel, one that I would not have seen without access to your blog.

    My opinion of "Banksy" has soared as a result of seeing that particular piece of his work.

  2. Gittes,

    Another busy week here at Club Clair.

    I am reading up a storm at home and enjoying it very much.

    I need to read and learn more about central Asia from 1880 to presnt.

    My son will be 15 years old tomorrow.

    That event is quite remarkable for me as it seems to have been mere months ago that I brought him and his mother home from the hospital, following his birth.

    I am hoping that all is well in your world.
