I want a new, new river every time I look down

[sovay]

We saw my father off at the airport tonight. He is going to Greece with Maria, to help her settle her parents' affairs in Sparta. (Her mother came from Xirokambi, where they say the bridge is the same one Telemachos drove over with Peisistratos, coming to see Menelaos and Helen; the family's olive groves are there. Her father was born in Pylos.) Since it was not feasible for me to stow away in his suitcase, I have submitted a strongly worded request for photographs and travel stories. I am home with new books and cats, one of whom is still freaking out over the hot air vents while the other now lies down beside them and rolls over to have his belly petted in warmth. We lit the candles before leaving the house.

Someone has shown you/you've seen this, right? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVQ0JFzXMgY

Yes! I saw Hail, Caesar! in theaters and found it fun but essentially fluffy. I showed that scene to my mother recently, however, to demonstrate that Channing Tatum really could dance.

Oh, you did review it! I thought you might have but couldn't find it (this is entirely due to me, not your indexing).

I hope you'll be able to share at least some of the pictures, because that sounds like an excellent trip for photos.

I will ask when they get back—maybe locked, at least.
