Oh ow, I have done that very thing; and in addition to the pain, which is considerable, since no matter how stubborn one may be, the door is in fact harder than one's head, I always feel extremely outraged and betrayed when a thing that shouldn't be where it is decides to hit me. I am glad you seem to be recovering without major damage.

The photos are wonderful. Raphael and I are watching "Dispatches from Elsewhere," with a somewhat wary eye, but just in terms of appearance, the urban landscape is similar to some of these photos. The show is set in Philadelophia.

I really specially appreciate late-flowering anything, but most specially that cherry.
