There's an angel that lies at the bottom of the well

1. rose_lemberg sent me a CD of Frank London's A Night in the Old Marketplace and a piece of sea-blue Roman glass from Caesarea. You understand why this is such a marvelous pair of gifts, but I may have to write something to explain it anyway.

2. This is a terrific poem.

3. With any luck, there will still be tickets tonight for the restored print of The African Queen (1951) at the Brattle Theatre.

So far, some week!
